The International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM) links organ and tissue donors with the scientific community.
Everyday heroes donate these tissues to assist in the discovery of cures and treatments to ensure better health for all.
After securing the appropriate authorization/consent, IIAM provides non-transplantable organs and tissues to researchers for use in medical discovery and education. All areas are served including: physicians, researchers and scientists in academic, pharmaceutical, governmental, biotech, regenerative medicine and tissue engineering institutions.
IIAM’s breadth of services includes a Neonatal Donor Program. This program offers a unique and invaluable service to a family receiving a fatal fetal diagnosis for their unborn baby, as well as to medical researchers wishing to study organs and tissues at the earliest stages of development. Families wishing to carry to term and anticipate circumstances where the baby will pass from natural causes shortly after birth are candidates for this program. Learn More.
