Maternal Research Placenta & Cord Blood Bank
The Medical College of Wisconsin Maternal Research Placenta & Cord Blood Bank is an extension of the MCW Tissue Bank. The cord blood program differs from the main portion of the bank in that it only stores blood and tissue from one pregnancy for use in future research by Froedtert Hospital and MCW staff. A woman can choose to make a one-time donation with any birth.
