Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Research
ViaCord offers cord blood banking and does research focused on discovering new uses for cord blood stem cells - making us the cord blood experts.
In fact, our scientific expertise is at the core of everything we do. The collective goal of our teams of research scientists is to expand the current uses of cord blood stem cells so they may treat more patients and more diseases in the future.
Areas of focus:
Our researchers are specifically focused on treating illnesses like cancer and cardiac (heart) disease by targeting and increasing different types of stem cells found in cord blood. To learn more about our exciting research, please follow the links below:
-
Cancer: Identify new stem cells within cord blood to treat more diseases including potential treatments for certain types of cancers.
-
Heart Disease: Identify new stem cells within cord blood to treat patients suffering from heart disease; the leading cause of death in the U.S.
Please rest assured that all of our research is conducted on cord blood donated by local hospitals. Your baby's cord blood will be processed and stored at our processing and storage facility outside of Cincinnati.
