Giles Platford: This IPAW, We Celebrate The Power of Plasma—and The People Who Make Its Promise Real
Giles Platford, President, Plasma-Derived Therapies Business Unit at Takeda and Chair of the Global Executive Board at PPTA, shared on LinkedIn:
”This International Plasma Awareness Week, we celebrate the power of plasma—and the people who make its promise real.
This year’s theme is Plasma Powers Possibility and at Takeda, that possibility begins at BioLife Plasma Services.
BioLife colleagues like Thomas Byres lead with compassion, ensuring donors feel safe, respected, and valued—while never losing sight of the patients who rely on plasma-derived therapies.
I’m immensely proud of Thomas and all our BioLife and Plasma-Derived Tharapies team members who bring their dedication and commitment to this work every day.
