We have returned from a successful TTS 2012 Congress where many of our IXA members participated as speakers. Due to our active involvement in the program, The Transplantation Society has granted our members free online access to recordings of Xenotransplantation related presentations (click here to access).

Plans are well underway for the IXA2013 Congress in Osaka and we are looking forward to our Japanese colleagues delivering on what promises to be an excellent mix of science and networking.
