Edward Shanbrom (November 29, 1924 – February 20, 2012) was an American medical researcher and hematologist, best known for the development of the process allowing the clotting protein Factor VIII to be made to treat hemophilia.
He then received a Bachelor of Science from Allegheny College, and a medical degree from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine.
Working at the Hyland division of Baxter Laboratories, he helped to develop a new method of producing Factor VIII, a clotting protein, that could be directly used for treatment of bleeding and joint pain in hemophiliacs by injection.
Shanbrom left Hyland in the mid 1970s to pursue research at his home, developing a blood cleaning process using detergents to scrub the fatty coating of viruses.
Hall was dedicated on the UC Irvine campus in recognition of his hematology research and support of the university, as well as Edward Shanbrom, M.D.
