Awards
The Grifols Scientific Awards highlight our long-standing commitment to the scientific community. These recognitions promote and distinguish research in areas related to our core business.
Committed to science
Since our origins in 1909, Grifols has helped shape industry standards in the plasma-derived medicines sector. At the beginning of 1950, Dr. Josep Antoni Grifols i Lucas developed the plasmapheresis technique, which entails the process of extracting human plasma while simultaneously re-injecting the red blood cells back into the donor.
The plasmapheresis technique was quickly embraced by the global medical community and today remains one of the most frequently used plasma extraction techniques in blood banks and hospitals worldwide.
We became one of the first companies in the sector to implement double viral inactivation processes to produce factor VIII. Moreover, Grifols' sterile filling method has become an industry standard.
Today, we continue to innovate and at the same time support the development of the scientific community and its research efforts worldwide.
