Welcome Healthcare Professionals

Real science. Happening now.Medicine is constantly evolving. In particular, our approach to cancer treatments has changed radically thanks to bone marrow and cord blood transplants. Yes, it is true that cord blood stem cells have been used routinely in cancer treatments for over 30 years as it is easier to match than bone marrow and usually carries less risk of GvHD for patients. This simple fact alone is reason #1 why you need to learn about cord blood stem cells as a healthcare professional.
What is reason #2? Potential! Today, we are constantly hearing about new innovations in regenerative medicine, cellular therapy, CAR-T, immunotherapy. . . the list goes on. Cord blood is proving key in all of these emerging areas of research. Healthcare professionals who understand the science behind cord blood and how it relates to these fields will be on the cutting edge and far ahead of their peers. * * *

Designed with leading cord blood experts.Do you want to train a team of healthcare professionals about cord blood? We will provide you with easy-to-use slides, a lesson plan and recorded educational videos adapted to introductory staff training on the topic of cord blood. Everything will be made available via the NEXT GENERATION: Cord Blood portal (you be granted access once you register).
This program was created in cooperation with outstanding teachers and leading cord blood experts to make sure that the material included is relevant and clearly presented for those learning about cord blood for the first time. A flexible program based on factual, non-commercial information.
And the best part. . .

Additional tools adapted to the future healthcare professional
- For younger students (Pre-school and up): Our Young Artists Program is an arts based program that gives an easy to understand and age appropriate introduction to the concept of saving cord blood based on the concepts of "Create, Give, Share." View the Young Artists gallery to see examples of previous work.
- For middle school students: We offer a more scientific approach with an interactive program introducing the basic concepts behind cord blood stem cells, current applications and exciting research in this field.
- For high school and university students: NEW Flagship Program! Ask about "Cord Blood in the Classroom," a click and play lesson with interactive activities including an innovative Escape Room! Our program for high school and university students builds on knowledge already acquired in the sciences and pushes the students into further exploration of current applications for cord blood stem cells, ongoing research, STEM careers, etc. For many, this program may expose them to new career opportunities previously not considered.
