At the end of 2025, we reached an important milestone: more than 10,000 novel HLA alleles have now been fully characterized and submitted to the international HLA reference database IPD‑IMGT/HLA. This achievement reflects over a decade of continuous refinement of long‑read sequencing workflows, enabling comprehensive full‑gene characterization across all HLA loci used in donor typing.

DKMS Life Science Lab has launched its new Partner Area, marking an important step toward greater digitalization and more efficient partner interaction. The Partner Area serves as a central platform where partners can manage requests, contracts, and communication with clarity and transparency.

At the 2025 Annual Conference of the Association of Accredited Laboratories (AAL), DKMS Life Science Lab delivered a well-received presentation titled “Communication as a Quality Factor – Success Strategies from the Medical Laboratory”.
