Milan Cord Blood Bank

About

The Milano Cord Blood Bank (MCBB) is located at the Centro Trasfusionale e di Immunologia dei Trapianti of Ospedale Maggiore in Milan.

The registry of cord blood donations in Italy is maintained by GRACE: Gruppo Italiano Amplificazione Cellule Emopoietiche. The GRACE network started in 1995 and pioneered the model of a national network of cord blood banks linked to a hub registry, the model that is used today by large networks like DKMS (Germany) and NMDP (United States).
