Save the Cord Foundation and WellSky are proud to welcome Dr. Juliet Barker from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, as our featured speaker for our next edition of Share the Science on December 9th, 2021 2pm ET / 11am PT. Join us to hear Dr. Barker discuss best practices in cord blood transplantation (CBT). RECORDING AVAILABLE NOW.
Share the Science is a free webinar series focused on the cord blood industry and the latest research in this field.  As always, we invite both health professionals and the general public to join us for this unique online educational series. Learn more about this exciting educational series here.

Lessons learned, best practices. . . optimizing cord blood transplantation.

​Unrelated donor cord blood is a rapidly available cryopreserved stem cell source that has the advantage of reduced stringency of required HLA-match. This extends transplant access to minority patients and those in need of urgent transplantation.

At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, optimization of cord blood transplantation (CBT) practices including graft selection, conditioning, graft thaw and early post-transplant supportive care — especially prevention and management of graft-versus-host disease and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections — has resulted in a dramatic reduction in transplant-related mortality after CBT for high-risk acute leukemia in adults.

This combined with very low rates of relapse has resulted in very high survival in this patient population. These promising results and the future of adult CBT will be discussed in detail in this Share the Science session.

Register now to receive a link to the recording and slides.

About the speaker

Juliet Barker, MD

Juliet Barker, MBBS (Hons), FRACP, is an Australian trained hematologist. She is currently an Attending Physician in the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Program, Memorial Hospital, N.Y., an Attending Member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), the Director of the MSKCC Cord Blood (CB) Transplant Program, an Associate Vice Chair, Faculty Development, Department of Medicine, MSKCC and a Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.

Over the last 20 years Dr Barker has demonstrated the ability of CB transplantation (CBT) to extend transplant access to racial and ethnic minority patients with hematologic malignancies. She has also worked to improve the practice of unrelated adult volunteer searches for minority patients. Dr Barker’s CBT Program is internationally recognized with survival in adult CBT recipients comparable to the gold standard of matched adult donor allografts in patients with leukemia.

​Dr Barker has published extensively concerning novel strategies to optimize CBT outcomes. Dr Barker has also advised the National Marrow Donor Program and the Advisory Council on Blood Stem Cell Transplantation to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration concerning the national CB inventory. She has served on the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) Board and led the national ASTCT Cord Blood Special Interest Group.

​Dr Barker also has a keen interest in academic mentorship.

We wish to thank Dr. Juliet Barker for volunteering her time to speak on
Share the Science and sharing her valuable insight
on optimizing cord blood transplantation through best practices.
​​
We also wish to also thank our generous sponsor and partner for this event,
WellSky Health, who continue to support cord blood
education through our “Share the Science” series.
