The scientific program will feature internationally renowned speakers alongside esteemed experts from the Asia-Pacific region. Sessions will cover the latest developments in HLA and immunogenetics, solid organ and bone marrow transplantation diagnostics and therapeutics, and the role of HLA diversity in infection and immunity.
In addition to a stimulating scientific program, this meeting will provide invaluable opportunities for networking, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing.
