Why donate?
If you are in good health and between the ages of 18 and 55, your donation of blood and bone marrow can advance scientific research.
The study of biological processes, diseases, and drug development all rely on donations of cells isolated from blood and tissue samples provided from individuals like you. Cells isolated from healthy donors are important in many aspects of research studies, including testing potential drugs, leading to the development of improved treatments and cellular therapies.
Providing researchers with cells obtained through responsible, sustainable donor programs such as Canventa’s, enables them to focus on their research and results instead of worrying about finding the right samples. This helps to speed up their research, ultimately leading to new therapies for life-threatening diseases.

Impact on Research
The cells isolated from healthy blood and tissue samples have a profound impact on scientific research. Bone marrow is a rich source of stem cells, which can be used to study cancer and other diseases, and your blood contains important cells and proteins vital to the study of diseases and development of new treatments.
In recent years, there have been exciting scientific breakthroughs that make your donation of blood and bone marrow even more important. Blood donation is essential for the development of CRISPR technology, being used to develop new treatments for diseases such as cancer. In addition, blood donation supports the development of CAR-T cell therapy, which is providing new hope for patients with leukemia. Donations of bone marrow are imperative for the development of new treatments for conditions such as sickle cell disease and Alzheimer’s.
By donating with Canventa, you can make a real difference in the advancement of scientific research.
