“At nmdp, we believe each of us holds the key to curing blood cancers and disorders. As a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy, nmdp creates essential connections between researchers and supporters to inspire action and accelerate innovation to find life-saving cures. With the help of blood stem donors from the world's most diverse registry and our extensive network of transplant partners, physicians and caregivers, we're expanding access to treatment so that every patient can receive their life-saving cell therapy. Nmdp. Find cures. Save lives. Our mission: we save lives through cell therapy. Our vision: create a world where every patient can receive their life-saving cell therapy. The nmdp foundation raises funds for three programs critical to our life-saving mission: transplant research, patient financial assistance and donor recruitment. Some of the life-changing work that we're doing is soley funding by our community of supporters. We conduct research through our research program, cibmtr (center for international blood and marrow transplant research) in collaboration with the medical college of wisconsin. Our research leads to more lives saved and an enriched quality of life for thousands of patients. Through the nmdp amy strelzer manasevit research program and other research grants, outstanding early-career researchers are doing innovative work to find solutions to the complications that can arise after transplant. They're developing treatment approaches that will help the next generation of transplant patients live longer, healthier lives. Patient financial assistance helps cover transplant-related costs not covered by insurance that cause significant hardship or even prevent patients from moving forward with transplant. Costs like transportation, lodging, lost wages and prescriptions. Nmdp connects patients with a matching, unrelated donor, a selfless stranger who can step up and donate their healthy blood stem cells to give them the chance at a life-saving transplant.”
