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.
