The purpose of this project is to develop an additional anti-virus and anti-cancer therapy from umbilical cord blood. Along with the unrelated cord blood transplant this should ensure a stronger defense against viruses and cancer. The research is being conducted by the research group “Children’s Medical Stem Cell Transplantation Programme” at the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital, which is part of University Medical Center Utrecht. Ammodo supports this project to contribute to research that aims to improve the survival chances of children suffering from serious cancers.
