Description
The fundamental and translational science postgraduate course is designed to give new researchers an overview of fundamental concepts in transplantation and to provide, to all attendees, an update on the biggest scientific breakthroughs from the last two years. The half-day program, presented by internationally recognised experts, will cover recent insights into how the body recognizes transplanted tissues, and how cell therapies, biomaterials and precision medicine are shaping the future of transplantation. The course also aims to help participants in their own research by highlighting unanswered questions in the field and providing practical advice for involving patients and stakeholders in fundamental and translational research.
