Charles Richard Drew, MD, known as the “father of blood banking,” revolutionized blood preservation techniques, saving countless lives. His doctoral research on blood banking and transfusions laid the groundwork for creating the first large-scale blood banks. During World War II, Drew spearheaded the Blood for Britain project, delivering crucial plasma to England.
