Programs
Our program is the oldest and one of the largest and most respected pediatric blood and marrow transplant (BMT) research programs in the world. Children and adolescents come from around the world to be treated at the University of Minnesota.
Caring, dedicated University of Minnesota doctors and nurses, pharmacists, social workers, child life and Care Partners are focused on delivering of state of the art care to patients undergoing BMT. Driven to finding new treatments and safer transplant therapies for children with life threatening malignant and non malignant diseases, University of Minnesota investigators have received millions of dollars in NIH and industry support to manipulate the immune system to kill cancer cells and harness the power of stem cells to repair diseased or chemotherapy and radiation damaged tissues. Treatments are available for leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma and other solid tumors, aplastic anemia, Fanconi anemia, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, metabolic syndromes and imunodeficiency states.
