Region's largest hybrid cord blood bank launched in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi now has the region's largest hybrid cord blood bank - Abu Dhabi Biobank. Located in M42's Omics Centre of Excellence, Masdar City, the biobank has state-of-the-art automated technology and best-of-its-kind large-capacity biobanking infrastructure.

The facility can safely preserve as many as 100,000 cord blood samples and five million pan-human samples, making it viable for research and therapeutic use for 30 years. The biobank will create a diverse dataset to provide ready and better-matched hemopoietic stem cells globally.
