Overview

Established in January 2000, the BMT program at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provides a comprehensive range of pediatric and young adult transplant and cellular therapy services in the San Francisco Bay Area, including referrals throughout northern California, nationally and internationally. Our comprehensive services are available throughout the transplant trajectory of care and include donor evaluation, recipient evaluation, intra-transplant care, donor collection, post-transplant care in a pediatric and young adult outpatient facility, and photopheresis for acute and chronic graft versus host disease. The center has now also expanded its care giving by participating in transplantation clinical trials and commercial products for patients with hemoglobinopathies (e.g., sickle cell and thalassemia)

This center has been performing allogeneic transplants since 2000 and has been an NMDP/Be The Match transplant center since June 2002.
