About Us
Our internationally recognized pediatric stem cell and cellular therapy program was established in 1990, and we performed the world’s first unrelated umbilical cord blood transplant in a child with Fanconi’s anemia. More than 2,200 transplants later, we offer a comprehensive program for children and young adults with over 100 unique diagnoses.
Our team includes board-certified transplant and immunotherapy doctors, hematology-oncology and transplant and cellular therapy fellows, specially trained nurses, research coordinators, social workers, pharmacists, psychologists, nutritionists, physical therapists, child life specialists, translators, and family support professionals. We work closely with Duke pediatric specialists to care for patients who have additional medical problems or experience complications after transplantation.
