Stem Cells, Cord Blood and Tissue, Oh My! with Dr. Jaime Shamonki

About this episode

We’ve received a lot of great advice from friends and family as we prep to welcome our first baby! One of our friends told us about cord blood storage - something we knew nothing about. After looking into it, we decided to hop on a chat with Dr. Jaime Shamonki, Chief Medical Officer at Cord Blood Registry, to talk all about the science and the why behind collecting and storing our baby’s cord blood and tissue. Dr. Jaime Shamonki is a mom of two. She trained in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at New York Presbyterian Hospital – Weill Cornell Medical College and has completed fellowships at Weill Cornell as well as the University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to joining Generate Life Sciences, Dr. Shamonki developed expertise in women's health and clinical laboratory medicine, serving as the Director of Breast Pathology and Blood Bank Medical Director at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, CA, and as an Assistant Professor at the John Wayne Cancer Institute.
