Dear colleagues,
The field of transplantation is no longer what it
used to be. 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!
