CTRMS Webinar - May 30, 2024

Illustrating the State of the Art of Transplant Immunology and Regenerative Immunology: Two Faces of the Same Medal

Thursday, May 30, 2024 - 10:00 AM (Local time in Montreal)
Local time (Corresponding local time at your current location)
The duration of this presentation is scheduled for 60 minutes.

Overview

The theme of the webinar is the immune response, as it can be mounted by the host immune system against acellular and cellular biomaterials, as well as against human and xeno allografts. The webinar will show that transplant medicine and regenerative medicine are both fighting against the same enemy, namely immune reaction of the host immune system. The audience will realize that similar concepts and approaches apply to both fields, and that “regenerative immunology” and “transplant immunology” have a lot in common and are likely destined to merge in the decades ahead, when it is anticipated that “transplant medicine” will be synonymous to “organ bioengineering” or “regenerative transplantation”

Learning Objectives

  1. To learn about the pathophysiology of the immune response to allotransplant
  2. To learn about the pathophysiology of the immune response to biomaterials
  3. To learn what the fields of transplant immunology and regenerative immunology have in common, and where they overlap
