Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide
Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide (BMDW) is an organization based in Leiden, Netherlands, that coordinates the collection of the HLA phenotypes of volunteer hematopoietic cell donors and cord blood units. BMDW participants (as of March 2007) are 58 hematopoietic cell donor registries from 43 countries, and 39 cord blood banks from 21 countries. The current number of donors and cord blood units in the BMDW database is 11,161,332 (last updated: 27-Mar-2007). There are currently 608 users from 433 organisations authorised to perform online searches of registries and cord blood banks participating with the BMDW.
Additional recommended knowledge
BMDWStarted in 1988 with its office in Leiden (the Netherlands), the BMDW Editorial Board consists of one representative of each stem cell donor registry or cord blood bank participating in BMDW, and meets twice a year to discuss achievements and necessary improvements. BMDW is a service provided and managed by Europdonor Foundation. Mission StatementBMDW is a voluntary collaborative effort of stem cell donor registries and cord blood banks whose goal is to provide centralised information on the HLA phenotypes and other relevant data of unrelated stem cell donors and cord blood units and to make this information easily accessible to the physicians of patients in need of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Main GoalsThe original goal to collect the HLA phenotypes of volunteer stem cell donors and cord blood units, and to co-ordinate their world-wide distribution remain our primary goals. But new initiatives have been added:
