Cord Blood Stored with Future Health Biobank Transforms the Life of a Girl in Qatar

We are proud to share the story of a young girl in Qatar whose life was transformed through a stem cell transplant made possible by cord blood stored with us at Future Health Biobank.

When Ananya was diagnosed with beta thalassaemia, her parents chose to store her newborn brother’s cord blood with us, hoping it might one day help her. After processing and preserving the sample in our UK laboratory, we later arranged its secure transport to Apollo Cancer Hospital in Chennai, where Ananya received her transplant.

Our scientific and logistics teams coordinated every step to ensure the safe release and delivery of the stem cells. Hearing that Ananya is now thriving is a powerful reminder of the impact cord blood banking can have.

We have supported families in Qatar for more than a decade, and this case highlights the life‑changing potential of saving a child’s stem cells.

Names have been changed to protect the family’s privacy.

In 2008, Yuliya from Ukraine gave birth to twins at 32 weeks. The children, Elizaveta and Vladomir, were born by caesarean section and each weighed a little over three pounds.

Despite Elizaveta catching up with her peers and becoming a healthy child, the birth of Vladomir had left him with severe trauma. Suffering from hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) brain damage and partial atrophy of the optic nerve, young Vladomir was almost blind and unable to fully control his body.

Some individuals are highly sensitive to bitter-tasting compounds called glucosinolates, found in foods such as cabbage, broccoli, sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables. People who have this increased sensitivity are known as ‘tasters’.

The presence of this trait can determine whether someone is likely to have an increased bitter taste response to certain foods than ‘non-tasters’.

A dietary screening is an effective, non-invasive way to discover if your baby or child is at an increased genetic risk of developing bitter taste sensitivity.
