Blood donors at April 6 blood drive can participate in blood test<\/b>
\nA pediatric resident researcher is looking for healthy blood donors to give a little extra blood for heavy metal testing at the upcoming blood drive on Friday, April 6, in Lower Storz Pavilion from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. The study is targeting adult blood donors who live in Omaha’s Superfund Site (ZIP codes: 68102, 68104, 68105, 68106, 68107, 68108, 68110, 68111, 68112, 68131, and 68132). This project hopes to help develop a screening tool to decrease heavy metals in donated blood products, protecting vulnerable populations like premature infants. This study is sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Pediatric Research Fund of the department of pediatrics at UNMC\/Children’s Hospital & Medical Center.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
