The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research is a unique network that has over 500 participating centers looking at 300,000 transplant recipients and 250 active studies as well as 400 publications of all that has been discovered.

They collaborate with the scientific community around the world to advance the hematopoietic cell transplantation and cellular therapy research cause worldwide. Their work has led to increased to survival rates and an enormous jump in the level of knowledge to help those both in need and trying to cure. Using their extensive network of transplant centers they now have a clinical database of more than 300,000 transplant recipients which they can study.

All research carried out is focussed on the patients as these are the reason for the CIBMTR. These patients depend on the center to discover and apply the optimal therapies that their research has identified.

Their research has helped assess donor safety and ensures that patients receive the most promising transplant approaches for their condition so that they will benefit the most. They do this by collecting and monitoring outcome data from every allogeneic transplantation performed in the US. Other transplant centers around the world also voluntarily offer up data to the center to help the cause.

The data that is collected is available for study both by experienced researchers and those new to it but with a burning passion to help however they can. The sheer volume of data allows researchers to investigate best practice methods and help in the future success of blood and marrow transplantations.
