Why Should You Donate?
Lonza is working with researchers who are trying to get closer to a cure for Type 2 Diabetes. Your bone marrow could be an important piece of the puzzle. If you’re 18-45 years old, in good health and not engaged in high-risk behaviors, Lonza Donor Programs can use your bone marrow to continue their life saving work.
You will be compensated $600 via personal check for your time and effort immediately following your procedure at our Rockville, Maryland facility.

After the initial screening, an appointment is made for you to come into our center in Rockville, MD. We will confirm your eligibility, take initial blood samples, and schedule your marrow donation at a doctor’s office in either Bethesda or Germantown within 3 weeks.
Bone marrow creates stem cells that will create red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. And just like when you donate blood your healthy body replaces these cells within a few weeks.
