1,800 abstracts have been accepted to ATC 2023, representing most exciting science in transplantation

MOUNT LAUREL, NEW JERSEY, USA, May 1, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Abstracts selected for presentation at The American Transplant Congress, (ATC), are now posted on the ATC2023 website and available for viewing in advance of the Congress, which this year takes place from June 3 through June 7, 2023 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.

This year, 1,800 abstracts will be presented at the Congress representing some of the most important research underway in the field of soft tissue and organ transplantation. The information to view abstracts and build your schedule is posted online: https://atcmeeting.org/build-your-schedule.

Poster presenters will be in front of their poster boards during daily morning and afternoon networking breaks held in the Exhibit Hall. In addition, five-minute oral abstract presentations are scheduled at the end of each session with time for questions from the audience. Sessions are designed with specific topic-driven presentations.

Highlights for 2023
One of the more highly-anticipated sessions this year is the Innovations in Transplantation session on Monday, June 5, 2023 from 11:00 AM - 11:55 AM PT, and is entitled: ABO Incompatible Organ Transplantation. ABO incompatible transplantation has long been considered a contraindication. However, as the organ shortage crisis continues and live donor transplantation continues to be an important solution option, this issue is being revisited in multiple settings.

The speakers will provide up- to-date experience in ABO incompatible transplantation in various solid organs and discuss strategies that have been effective in ameliorating hyperacute rejection.

The State-of-the-Art lectures include a presentation by Jay A. Fishman, MD, Director of the Transplant Infectious Diseases and Compromised Host Program at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) who will deliver the Thomas E. Starzl State-of-the-Art lecture entitled Infection in Transplantation: What Have We Learned From Pigs? on Sunday, June 4, from 11:00 – 11:30 a.m. PT.

In addition, Hiro Nakauchi MD, PhD of the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine will deliver the Paul I. Terasaki State-of-the-Art lecture, sponsored by the Terasaki Innovation Center, on Growing Organs In Vivo: iPS Cell-derived Xeno-created Organs for Transplantation on Tuesday, June 6, 2023, from 12:00 – 12:30 p.m. PT.

Other program highlights include late-breaking abstracts, powerful Impact Sessions, Controversies in Transplantation, and In-depth Symposia programs centered on specific practice areas. Details for these sessions are provided on the ATC website.
