Boston University NMDP Chapter

Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with a life-threatening blood cancer such as leukemia or lymphoma. For thousands of these patients, a blood stem cell transplant is their only hope. Unfortunately, 70% of patients in need of a transplant do not have a fully matched donor in their family.

What is NMDP?

NMDP is the global non-profit leader in cellular therapy, and we believe that each of us holds the key to curing blood cancers and diseases. We dedicate ourselves to increasing accessibility to blood stem cell transplants by expanding and diversifying the blood stem cell donor registry as well as fundraising to rid donors and patients of any financial barriers.

Our Chapter

BU NMDP brings our mission to Boston University’s campus. We recruit donors to the NMDP registry to increase the chances for patients with blood cancers and diseases and all it takes is a swab! Additionally, we fundraise and and all our proceeds go towards NMDP.

If you are interested in swabbing and potentially saving a life or have any questions, contact us!!
