Cord blood bank

The cord blood bank of Abu Dhabi Biobank will enable better care outcomes, build the nation’s self-sufficiency in meeting the urgent need for cord blood stem cells, and further enhance regional capabilities in research and innovation.

Cord blood is the blood left inside a child’s umbilical cord after delivery and has stem cells. These stem cells work like a ‘bio repair kit’, helping to heal, restore and replenish other cells that can be used in the treatment of certain hematological and immune system disorders, like

  • Leukemia and lymphoma
  • Bone marrow diseases requiring a transplant which include certain genetic diseases
  • Anemias like thalassemia and sickle cell disease
  • Certain immune system disorders
  • Other conditions e.g. autism, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes
