In the lab & beyond: Good things are happening in the cord blood industry

The world is moving fast! Each day can bring a new challenge or even opportunities!

The cord blood industry is uniquely placed to respond quickly to these changes thanks to the unique medical characteristics of cord blood and the close-knit network of the industry. 

To discuss all of the hot topics in cord blood, we have asked the Dr. Beth Shaz (Deputy Director of Marcus Center for Cellular Cures at Duke University / Leading member of Cord Blood Association) to join us for an in-depth discussion of current events, trends and challenges within the industry.

Topics we will cover during this discussion: 

  • Learn about the Marcus Center for Cellular Cures, Duke University, including the Carolinas Cord Blood Bank (leading numerous key clinical trials using cord blood)
  • Gain insights into the FAA reauthorization act of 2024 following advocacy from the Cord Blood Association and what this good news means for the cord blood industry.
  • Dive in to cord blood donor eligibility criteria and the removal of Zika virus prohibitions and explore the positive impact that this has had on product availability.
  • Looking forward:  Focus in on DUOC, a cord blood derived product that accelerates brain remyelination.
