Future Health Biobank

Europe’s first accredited family stem cell bank and UK Queen’s Award winner, Future Health Biobank, is celebrating 10 years as a pioneer in the collection and cryopreservation of stem cells for potential future medical use.

Future Health started by storing cord blood stem cells in 2002 and within four years it had stored its 10, 000th sample. Another five years on and the company’s purpose built cryogenic storage facility has over 50, 000 stem cell samples for families from more than 45 countries in its care. A cord tissue storage service was added in 2009 and now services to capture cells from other sources identified for potential medical use – such as dental pulp and adipose tissue - have been introduced with further services.
