This is a timeline of hematology.

Big picture

Time period Development summary
17th century "In the 17th century, Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, using a primitive, single-lens microscope, observed red blood cells (erythrocytes) and compared their size with that of a grain of sand"[1]
18th century "In the 18th century English physiologist William Hewson amplified the description of red cells and demonstrated the role of fibrin in the clotting (coagulation) of blood."[1]
19th century " Bone marrow was recognized as the site of blood-cell formation in the 19th century, along with the first clinical descriptions of pernicious anemia, leukemia, and a number of other disorders of the blood."[1]
20th century "The discovery of the ABO blood group system in the first quarter of the 20th century made possible the transfusion of blood from one person to another without the serious ill effects that ensue when incompatible blood is given. The study of the blood disease anemia gained impetus from the introduction of the hematocrit, an apparatus for determining the volume of red blood cells as compared with the volume of plasma, and the introduction in 1932 of a simple method of measuring the volume and hemoglobin" "After World War II the field of hematology broadened."[1] "The emergence of HIV in the 1980s renewed impetus for development of infection-safe blood substitutes.[2]

3255 BC The oldest intact red blood cells ever discovered are found in Ötzi, a natural mummy of a man who died around that time.[3]
1616 English physician William Harvey discovers blood pathways. Since then many people try to use fluids such as beer, urine, milk, and non-human animal blood as blood substitute.[4] United Kingdom
1658 "The first person to describe red blood cells was the young Dutch biologist Jan Swammerdam, who had used an early microscope in 1658 to study the blood of a frog"

1958 Organization The American Society of Hematology is founded.[22][23] United States
1959 "In 1959, by use of X-ray crystallography, Dr. Max Perutz was able to unravel the structure of hemoglobin, the red blood cell protein that carries oxygen"
1959 Organization The Japanese Society of Clinical Hematology is established in Tokyo.[9] Japan
1960 Organization The British Society for Haematology is founded.[24] United Kingdom
1961 Researchers identify role of platelets in treating cancer patients.[25][8]
1971 Field development Testing blood for Hepatitis B is first conducted in the United States.[8] United States
1972 Journal Journal Experimental Hematology is launched by the International Society for Experimental Hematology, incorporated the same year as the continuation of the Society for Hematology and Stem Cells.[26]
1975 Journal Journal Blood Cells, Molecules and Diseases is established.[27]
1976 Journal The American Journal of Hematology is established.[28] United States
