Is Cord Blood Banking Worth It? Ft. Parents' Guide to Cord Blood Founder Dr. Frances Verter

In this episode, we explore cord blood banking with Dr. Frances Verter, founder of Parents' Guide to Cord Blood, a non-profit organization in the cord blood space and the most complete database of cord blood banks, both family and public.


We discuss how her daughter, Shai's encounter with childhood cancer, led Dr. Verter to pursue a career in cord blood banking. Dr. Verter also shares how she compiles all of her cord blood case studies for the PGCB database, highlighting the inspiring story of Mason, a young boy with osteopetrosis who received a cord blood transplant, demonstrating the real-life impact of these medical advancements.


We also discuss the latest advancements in umbilical cord and placenta stem cell therapies, highlighting their applications in oncology and infertility. The conversation reveals striking international differences in cord blood banking rates, shaped by cultural attitudes and government incentives, particularly in countries like Singapore and China.


Additionally, we tackle the role of media in shaping public perceptions of cord blood banking, especially in light of a critical New York Times article that has created confusion among parents about safety and efficacy. Dr. Verter emphasizes the importance of accurate information in combating misinformation that can erode public trust. We conclude by advocating for more accessible options for parents within the cord blood banking industry, addressing the challenges of cost and availability.
