Bone Marrow Research

Scientific research is a cornerstone of Ezer Mizion's registry. We invest in basic and applied research to advance transplant outcomes and improve service quality for patients in Israel and around the world.

The registry collaborates with leading research groups both in Israel and internationally to analyze the genetic and ethnic diversity of our donor pool. Our goal is to develop optimal recruitment strategies and improve matching probabilities between donors and patients across Israel's diverse population.

All research is conducted in full compliance with Israeli law and Ministry of Health procedures, and is subject to approval by Israel's ethics committees.
