INTERNATIONAL FIBRINOGEN RESEARCH SOCIETY
Promoting scientific knowledge on fibrinogen
What We Do
Connecting and growing the fibrinogen research community.
Mission
Promote Scientific Knowledge & Organize Scientific Workshops
The mission of the IFRS is to promote scientific knowledge on fibrinogen and to organize the biannual International Fibrinogen Workshops (Click here for iformation on the upcoming 2025 Workshop in Corfu, Greece). The meetings are open to all investigators and scientists including physicians with a clinical or basic research interest in fibrinogen. These colloquia provide a forum for collegial presentations and discussions of new findings and perspectives. Many collaborations and friendships have been kindled at these Workshops, and our goal is to continue this tradition. Members of the IFRS receive reduced registration fees for the Workshop. The IFRS Constitution, which was revised in 2024, is available here.
Membership
