The Co-Operative Center for Excellence in Hematology Cell Procurement & Processing Lab currently has an active protocol which allows one to participate as a Donor of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells to provide cells for laboratory research studies.
We are seeking normal healthy volunteers 18 to 70 years of age to provide Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) for research. After donation, participants will receive compensation for their time and inconvenience.

I don't live in the Seattle area, can I donate with the CCEH Donor Program at another location? What about traveling to Seattle to donate?
All donations with the CCEH Donor Program must take place in Seattle, Washington. If you were to travel to Seattle to donate we would not be able to provide room or board for your trip.
I filled out my donor profile awhile back and haven't been contacted, should I fill out a new one?
Once you have completed your profile it remains in our research database- there is no need to complete an additional new profile. Donations are scheduled as needed by the research labs which means there may be a long waiting period before you are contacted to donate.
