CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine: Advancing Pioneering Stem Cell Research

Dear CBR Families,

CBR has always been a pioneer in cord blood research. Our scientific director, Dr. David T. Harris, was one of the first researchers in the United States to bank cord blood stem cells. He banked the cord blood of his first child, Alex, in his lab at the University of Arizona in 1992.

Today, we continue our heritage of pioneering efforts to advance stem cell science. Our scientific research collaborative, the CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine, is partnering with some of the leading institutions in the world that are exploring the use of a child’s own cord blood to treat type 1 diabetes and repair damaged brain tissue.

The ability to repair various types of tissue in the body – also called Regenerative Medicine – may change how we treat devastating conditions that have no cure today. Take brain injury, for example.

Brain injury from accidents is the most frequent cause of disability among children in the United States. More than one million children sustain brain injuries every year. Research is showing that treatments using the stem cells from a baby's cord blood may be able to induce the healing of nerve and brain cells damaged from brain injury such as cerebral palsy which occurs before or during birth.

Please visit the CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine website for more information. If your ever need to discuss the potential to use your child's cord blood for brain injury or diabetes, please contact us at: newuses@cordblood.com.
