New plan’s objectives emphasize expanded uses of cord blood
Soon after the Cord Blood Association was born, its first Board of Directors adopted a strategic plan. That three-year-old plan, now largely accomplished, has been replaced with a new one.
The new plan is centered on rapid development and acceptance of novel uses of cord blood and an expanded demand for cord blood and perinatal tissue products and services.
Fifteen organizations collaborating this year on CBA-hosted congress
Registration is open for Cord Blood Connect, the international congress that embraces all components of the cord blood community – public and private banking, clinical and laboratory investigations, manufacturing, administration, training and education.
Convening Sept. 13-15 in Miami Beach, the congress will again have concurrent tracks for clinical and translational science and investigations, as well as education and training for cord blood bank administrative, technical and support personnel. CBA individual members can register for $510, saving $200 compared to the non-member rate.
