IXA Vanguard Committee

During the IXA 2013 Congress, IXA was pleased to announce the formation of a Vanguard Committee. This committee will provide a forum for students and junior faculty in related fields to interact with future leaders in xenotransplantation and provide opportunities for professional development. Members of the Committee will be tasked with representing the junior members of IXA and work to increase the awareness of research trends and techniques that can advance the field of xenotransplantation. Chair of the Committee, Christopher Burlak and IXA's Past President, Bernhard Hering will be issuing a call for interested members to join the Committee in the coming weeks.

As we begin a new year, IXA would like to send warm thoughts and best wishes to its members. Please do not hesitate to contact the IXA to provide feedback or any suggestions by emailing sections@tts.org.
