San Francisco 49ers Want Blood for Human Genome Research
Posted in: Uncategorized
Donating blood is not your typical pre-game ritual but it might be for San Francisco 49er fans this season. The NFL franchise has teamed up with Boston-based biotech company Orig3n, Inc. to support genetic and regenerative medicine research.
Under the “Faithful DNA” program, football fans who donate blood to Orig3n or purchase a LifeProfile genetic assessment will have the chance to win exclusive 49er prizes, such as autographed football gear from the five-time Super Bowl champions or tickets to a “draft day experience.”
“This is the first agreement of its kind and we’re excited to provide our fans with a unique opportunity to form personal connections with the 49ers in a way that contributes to human genome research,” 49ers Chief Operating Officer Ethan Casson stated in a press release.
