This year, the Anthony Nolan Research Institute (ANRI) marks 30 years of pioneering stem cell research. Our research has helped transform the experience of patients and donors worldwide - expanding what’s possible and helping more people survive and thrive.
But the work isn’t finished. We won't stop until everyone has the same access to, experience of and chance of a positive outcome from treatment.
30 years of progress
Since opening in 1996, the Anthony Nolan Research Institute has made some groundbreaking achievements
peer-reviewed scientific publications
pairs of patient and donor blood samples collected for research
gene variants for transplant matching curated
Make more lifesaving research possible
With continued research the next 30 years could unlock breakthroughs that give more patients the best chance to survive and thrive. You can help.
Unlocking new ways to treat every patient
Research has been our strength from the very start when Shirley Nolan took the groundbreaking step of establishing the world’s first register of volunteer bone marrow donors.
From confirming younger donors improve survival rates, to identifying key genetic factors in donor matching, and revealing inequities in stem cell transplant survival, the work of the Anthony Nolan Research Institute has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible.
