Explore the full potential of cord blood through cross-sector collaboration

The cord blood industry holds a unique role within the world of medicine. It is truly full of visionaries. But, given the nature of cord blood, research and innovation cannot be done in isolation. Innovation requires collaborations not just from doctors but also cord blood collectors, lab technicians, international registries, private cord blood banks, hospitals and more. Pushing the research forward requires cross-sector skills and networks. Taking these innovations from bench to bedside travels a slightly different route than traditional pharmaceuticals. 

To dive deep into cord blood's true potential and understand the process required in spearheading cutting-edge research and development in cellular therapies using cord blood, we are thrilled to welcome industry leaders, Marcie Finney, MBA and Wouter Van't Hof, PhD. Together, they will share their expertise regarding initiatives, partnerships and technological advancements led by the Cleveland Cell Therapy Incubator (CCTI). In addition, they will explore the advantages of using cord blood in cellular therapy and regenerative medicine research via the new National Cord Blood Network.  

​This insightful webinar, featuring key industry leaders Marcie Finney and Dr. Wouter Van’t Hof, will provide an in-depth look at the innovative solutions currently helping enhance cord blood use in medical treatments.

Register today and be part of a pivotal discussion that could transform your understanding and application of cord blood in medical treatments.
