Stem cell transplantation programme at Singapore General Hospital

Bone Marrow Transplantation
Mbc KohYc Linn

Abstract

The adult transplant programme at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) was established in 1985 and more than 820 transplants have been performed to date. An average of about 60 adult transplants (autologous and allogeneic) are performed each year. Transplants offered at SGH run the range from autologous to mismatched cord and unrelated transplants. Special interests of the transplant programme include non-myeloablative transplants in aplastic anaemia, cell therapy protocols including cytokine-induced killer cells, patterns of GVHD, cord blood transplantation for autoimmune diseases and graft engineering. A cGMP (good manufacturing practice) cell therapy laboratory was recently established to facilitate bench-to-bedside translational cell therapy trials. A BMT consortium has been formed among the various paediatric and adult transplant centres for harmonization of protocols and research activities.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
