Research and Training
Training programs for clinicians and researchers have been adopted throughout the world, in order to coordinate the research efforts. In 2004 was founded Eurocord, an international platform specialized in clinical research on umbilical cord blood stem cells., under efforts coordinated by Pr. Gregory Katz and Pr. Eliane Gluckman.
Eurocord centralizes and analyzes clinical data from 511 transplant centers in 56 countries. Funded by the European Union, Eurocord works closely with the European School of Haematology. In 2007, the association was recognized by the Medicen network of world-class cell therapy clusters. Eurocord also develops training programs for clinicians and researchers specialized in blood cancer and cell therapy.
In 2010, Eurocord became part of the French Agence de la biomédecine which now heads its operations.
