Who We Are

DKMS Americas is a donor center which is a member organization of the Be The Match Registry® (operated by the NMDP).

DKMS works to expand bone marrow donor registries by recruiting bone marrow donors from every race and ethnicity, in order to provide leukemia and other blood cancer patients in need of a bone marrow transplant with the best available donor match.

DKMS also coordinates the transport of bone marrow and blood stem cells from Germany to the U.S. for patients here in need of bone marrow transplants.

Through our efforts, DKMS Americas has registered over 150,000 donors, and more than 200 DKMS (Americas) donors have gone on to donate their bone marrow.

There is still more work to do as only 4 out of 10 people will receive a life-saving transplant. Therefore, we need your help. Learn more.
