Frontiers in Transplantation 2014 – Register Now



Scientists and clinicians are invited to a two-day course in translational transplantation biology with a focus on cell therapy to modulate the immune system and state-of-the-art liver transplantation.



It 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 at Guy's Hospital and King's College London.



At the end of the two day course, attendees will have gained insights into:



·         The problems facing transplantation due to activation of the innate immune system

·         Immune activation by alloantigens

·         Mechanisms of tolerance

·         Hepatocyte transplantation

·         Liver regeneration

·         Immunosuppression withdrawal

·         State of the art research in liver transplantation

·         State of the art research in bone marrow transplantation

·         Mesenchymal stem cells in transplantation



The course has been quality assured by the King's Health Partners Education Academy.



Date: 1st – 2nd September 2014



Venue: Guy's Hospital, London



Cost: £200
