Complimentary registration is open for the ninth annual World Cord Blood Day Virtual Conference on Monday, taking place Nov. 17. Each year, Save the Cord Foundation hosts this complimentary event to promote understanding of cord blood, highlight its role in treating more than 80 health conditions and dispel common misunderstandings.
The agenda includes on-demand presentations from cord blood experts on potential clinical applications for Krabbe disease, regenerative medicine, cancer and cerebral palsy. It also includes an interview with Steve Buechler, a cord blood transplant recipient.
The World Cord Blood Day web page includes additional resources for organizations and individuals interested in participating, such as a global event calendar, educational games and videos, and cord blood facts.
AABB, as an inspiring partner, encourages members of the blood and biotherapies community to share their World Cord Blood Day activities and follow along online using the #WCBD25 hashtag.
