IIAM Donor Memorial

This memorial was created to honor those who have donated organs and tissues for research and medical education through IIAM. It is with awe, solemnity and gratitude that we view the pictures, read the stories, and pay tribute to these donors. Join us in the memory of them and their gifts of human organs and tissues for research.

HONORING OUR DONORS

Neonatal Donations

Since its inception, IIAM’s Neonatal Donor Program has helped families make donations to researchers, who are gaining insights into how organs and cells develop in ways that were once unthinkable.

NEONATAL RESEARCH

Current Research

The Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors with Diabetes (nPOD) brings together experts from around the world to address fundamental questions relating to beta cell development and regeneration, viral infection, autoimmunity, genetics, and more.
At the University of Rochester Medical Center, the NIH-funded Lung Molecular Atlas Program (LungMAP) is seeking ways to trigger lung cell re-growth to ultimately help the lungs develop in premature babies, as well as treat adults suffering from COPD.
ORGAN & TISSUE RESEARCH

IIAM’s flexibility and dedication has allowed us to work on projects investigating the safety and efficacy of over 300 potential new drugs.

We have used the human lung material received from IIAM to aid our drug discovery research by studying the biological role and disease relevance of proteins that may be of therapeutic relevance in lung disease.
