The Whole Liver Replacement State-of-the-Science Summit
Summit - Chicago, IL, United States
Organ transplantation research is shifting away from immunosuppressive regimens and tolerance induction toward technology that uses a patient’s own cells to engineer a replacement organ. The Whole Liver Replacement State-of-the-Science Summit convenes — for the first time — the world’s leading clinical-based experts in liver biology, regeneration and tissue engineering to forge partnerships to overcome daunting technical challenges. The Summit is co-faciliated by:
Dr. Alejandro Soto-Gutiérrez, MD, Phd, McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute University of Pittsburgh
Dr. Jason A. Wertheim, MD, PhD, Comprehensive Transplant Center, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University
Organization: SOS Solving Organ Shortage
