Full description:

We are looking for 5 Frozen Stem Cell Transplant Recipients to attend an event at the NHSBT Barnsley Centre on Tuesday 02/09/25, Start time: 12:00 (midday), finish time has not been confirmed yet.

Changing how we store and freeze stem cells may help to improve the outcome for patients receiving stem cell transplants by reducing time spent in hospital waiting for engraftment, or reducing the toxic side effects of the cryopreservative currently in use.

If you are interested please email us.
