A two-day course for scientists and clinicians interested in translational transplantation biology with a focus on immunology of transplantation and State of the Art Liver and Bone Marrow Transplantation Research.

Course description

This two-day course will cover recent developments in basic transplantation immunology alongside the latest cutting-edge clinical research, with an emphasis on the ‘bench-to-bedside’ strategies being pursued within the MRC Centre for Transplantation and King’s College London.

• The problems facing a transplant due to activation of the innate immune system and novels ways to overcome this.
• The evidence suggesting an important role for B cells in the anti-donor response
• Mechanisms of chronic rejection
• Clinical trials in chronic rejection organised by KCL
• Mechanisms of tolerance to transplants and novel strategies to promote tolerance
• Recognising the activation state of the immune system post-trasplantation
• State of the art in cell therapies in transplantation

Who is it for?
