B cells have taken center stage in an area that has traditionally been focusing on T cells. Donation after cardiac death is not any more an option solely restricted to kidney transplantation. Tolerance has left its seemingly permanent mouse stage and has entered the clinical trial phase. And immunosuppression keeps evolving even though the pipeline has been repeatedly declared empty by many. These essential topics will be addressed by four internationally renowned speakers at this year’s Transplant Forum Symposium to which we want to cordially invite you. Coffee break and networking buffet will provide the opportunity to discuss these and other issues with the speakers and among the participants. We hope that the program sparks your interest and we look forward to seeing you at the symposium!
