Stories of the mission
What we do
We save lives through cell therapy. When a patient receives cell therapy, their diseased or damaged cells are replaced by healthy ones. The process might use a patient’s own cells or those from a donor. At NMDP, we harness the power of cell therapy to treat or cure blood cancers and other blood disorders.
We find cures
Because of NMDP researchers, blood stem cell transplants have evolved. What was once a new procedure is now a standard treatment for many life-threatening diseases. We continue our work to find treatments and cures for blood cancers and other blood-related diseases.
We help patients live longer, healthier lives
In partnership with the Medical College of Wisconsin, NMDP is running approximately 200 clinical trials and studies. These trials will help provide new medications, improve transplant processes and give us a greater understanding of diseases. As a result, we can help patients thrive.
We show up
Patients and caregivers have needs before, during and after transplant. We provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to everyone involved throughout the process and financial support for our patients.
