The Future of Cord Blood Banking in the Eras of Immune Effector Cell Therapies and Regenerative Medicine Webinar

April 29, 2025

We are proud to present three CBA leaders who will discuss cutting-edge topics shaping the future of cord blood banking and therapeutic applications. 

Marcie Finney will kick off the webinar with a discussion on "Modeling of Cord Blood Banking to Meet Demands of the Future", offering insights into the evolving landscape of cord blood banking, preservation, and utilization.

Following Marcie, Dr. Colleen Delaney will share her expertise on the "Generation of Immune Effector Cells from Pooled Donor CD34+ Cells", shedding light on the innovative methods harnessing the potential of cord blood for immune therapies.

Concluding the webinar, CBA President Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg will discuss her experience in "Treating Neurologic Conditions in Children with Cord Blood and Cord Tissue Derived Therapies", exploring the promising avenues of using cord blood and cord tissue for neurological interventions in pediatric patients.
