Who We Are
GenCure was officially established in 2010 to build the regenerative medicine aspects of the already-existing marrow donor services, peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection, tissue services, and the cord blood cellular therapy programs. Marrow donor services began in 1991 when the first potential bone marrow donors registered through our database in South Texas. In 2003, the program expanded its territory to include central Texas and became an official peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection center in 2008 to help streamline the search service for patients and donors. The National Marrow Donor Program of Central and South Texas has one of the highest recruitment rates of minority donors in the state. It is also nationally recognized for its success in recruiting donors in the 18 – 44 age group. The Cellular Therapy Center participated in a PBSC clinical research study in 2011 to reduce complications following a stem cell transplant.
What We Do
We work with student organizations to help us share our mission of helping patients with a blood cancer or disease. We cannot do our job without the support of volunteers.
