About us
DKMS is an international nonprofit where creativity, initiative, compassion, collaboration and strategic thinking are rewarded as we work together to expand our reach, recruit more bone marrow donors and help save more lives. Following the establishment of DKMS, our German predecessor, we were founded in 2004 in the U.S. as DKMS Americas, and since renamed DKMS. With the firm belief that people everywhere can play an active role in saving the lives of others with blood cancers and blood and bone marrow disorders, our mission is to grow the number of suitable bone marrow and blood stem cell donors for patients in need of a transplant. Today, DKMS is comprised of nearly 100 passionate employees and thousands of volunteers who work tirelessly toward a common goal of facilitating successful donations. Many of our employees have personally seen the urgent need for a vast and diverse donor registry, giving the organization an unmatched level of energy, creativity and dedication. DKMS is part of the world’s largest network of bone marrow donor centers, having registered more than 6 million people. Currently, nearly 56,000 those have gone on to donate to a patient.

The breakthrough in stem cell storage at -180°C is remarkable, saving more lives per donation.

Their ethical approach ensures voluntary participation, making each donation impactful in saving lives. This innovation signifies a major milestone in the battle against blood cancer. Join our registry with the link attached to join our overall mission. Read the following milestones located down below for more details. Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/eT7yf5WR
🔬 New milestone in the fight against blood cancer! 🔬 We are delighted to announce a ground-breaking #innovation in #stemcelldonation: The DKMS Stem Cell Bank in Dresden is the first facility in the world that can store surplus stem cells from donations for future transplants! Why is this important? Thanks to state-of-the-art cryopreservation, surplus stem cells can now be stored at -180 °C in liquid nitrogen. In future, more stem cells will be directly available for transplants. What does this mean for our donors and patients? 👉 Saving two lives: donors can now help not just one, but potentially two patients in need of a life-saving stem cell transplant. 👉 Rapid availability: Stored stem cells are immediately ready for use and can therefore be transplanted more quickly. The faster the stem cells are transplanted, the better the patient's chances of survival and long-term recovery. 👉 Ethics and safety: For our voluntary donors, the approach is 100 per cent ethical. We only approach those who are already donating for a specific person. With over 12 million registered donors in seven countries on five continents, DKMS is the worldwide most significant organization in the fight against blood cancer. Be a lifesaver too and register with #DKMS today. #DKMS #StemCellDonation #BloodCancer #SavingLives
