National Marrow Donor Program

The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is a nonprofit organization that connects patients in need of stem cell transplants with potential donors, primarily through a large registry of volunteer donors. When a patient requires a transplant, the NMDP matches them with a compatible donor from its database. The program facilitates the collection, processing, and shipment of donor cells, helping to treat diseases like leukemia and lymphoma. Its goal is to save lives by expanding access to compatible donors and ensuring safe, efficient transplants worldwide.
