Introduction

The Cyrus Tang Hematology Center was founded at Soochow University with the support of the Cyrus Tang Foundation of the United States and the Jiangsu Provincial Government. Together with the Key Laboratory of Thrombosis and Hemostasis under Ministry of Health and the Jiangsu Institute of Hematology, the Center will serve as a state-of-the-art platform for research and technological innovation in hematology, a nationally recognized field of study at Soochow University.
 
The purpose of the Cyrus Tang Hematology Center is to conduct cutting-edge research in the areas of thrombosis, hemostasis, vascular biology, hematopoietic stem cell biology, leukemia and other hematological disorders. Our goal is to establish the Hematology Department at Soochow University as a national center of excellence. The Tang Center will also serve as a national center of excellence and a training ground for new generations of leading hematologists in China.
 
The construction of the Center began in October 2008. With the first phase of laboratory space renovation completed in March 2009 and the official opening held on November 26, 2009, the Center is now in full operation.
