Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Research, Clinical Application and CPH Donor Registry
Cord Blood Bank Investigation
The public umbilical cord blood bank is the result of a scientific commitment that arose from the need to offer a matching service for umbilical cord blood donors, for patients without a family donor.
Services
Process of donation and transplantation of umbilical cord blood cells. Accompaniment and research from the time the mother donates until after transplantation.
Investigation projects
Implementation of a Public Bank of Umbilical Cord Stem Cells and a Cell Therapy Unit Hemocenter District, Secretariat of Health, Bogota.
Evolution towards better manufacturing, procurement, distribution and biosurveillance practices for cord and umbilical cord blood cells that expand their uses in hematopoietic transplantation, regenerative and precision medicine.
Characterization of cord blood mononuclear and hematopoietic cell migration upon IL6, IL8 and CCL2-induced stimuli in an in vitro model of canonical hematopoietic niche stimuli.
Optimization of the pretransplant procedure of cord blood unit thawing: a cell death prevention approach in the clinical setting.
Integrative metabolomics for understanding the regulation of hematopoietic progenitor nesting to the niche. Principal Investigators
Evaluation of the supporting capacity of mesenchymal stem cells from different tissues in the expansion of cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Prospective cohort of pediatric patients for the evaluation of the impact of clinical factors and biomarkers on the risk of complications in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Optimization of autologous dendritic cells as an immunotherapy strategy in cancer patients.
Research oriented to the implementation of best practices for the clinical application of cellular therapies. Model: TPH in Bogota. Executor: District Health Secretariat. Operators: IDCBIS and Fundación HOMI- Hospital de la Misericordia.
Evaluation of the cord blood collection operational system for the first Colombian public cord blood bank.
Analysis of the migratory capacity of hematopoietic cell lines in response to conditioned media of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from umbilical cord wharton's jelly.
