== History == DKMS was founded in Germany on 28 May 1991 by billionaire Peter Harf, an executive with Coty, Inc., and Professor Gerhard Ehninger, the hematologist who treated his first wife Mechtild Harf. Mechtild had been diagnosed with leukemia, and while her cancer initially responded to drugs, she eventually needed a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSC) but none of her family members were a good match.
