About the Department of Pediatric Immunology and Stem Cell Transplantation at University Hospital Frankfurt am Main

The Department of Pediatric Immunology and Stem Cell Transplantation at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main offers the full range of medical services in these fields and treats children, adolescents and young people with malignant and benign diseases. Special attention is paid to haploidentical stem cell transplantation and CAR T-cell therapy. The department performs more than 60 stem cell transplantations every year. The department also treats congenital and acquired immunodeficiency conditions. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Peter Bader.

The department is one of the largest Pediatric Transplant Centers in Germany. Particular attention is paid to haploidentical stem cell transplantation. This method makes it possible to use parents as donors for transplantation. Thus, stem cell transplantation becomes possible for each child.

In the field of immunology, the department treats immunodeficiencies of all types and degrees of severity. A special Immunology Laboratory serves for the conduction of all modern examinations, which are necessary for making an accurate diagnosis. The young patients with complex symptoms are provided with regular interdisciplinary boards with the specialists in pediatric hematology, gastroenterology and endocrinology. In addition, the department is an active participant in national and international clinical trials aimed at the development of new effective treatment methods. Thus, the patients have access to all therapeutic options.

The department specializes in the treatment of the following diseases:

  • Malignant diseases
    • Blood diseases
