The Basic Transfusion Biology Working Party meeting

The Basic Transfusion Biology Working Party is having an open meeting at ISBT Milan - this is not only open for ISBT members but for everyone attending IBST Milan! This is a chance for you to find out more about the working party and ask any question you may have about getting involved. If you'd like to attend the meeting, fill out the form below and we will see you there. 

The Working Party was to highlight their scientific approach and working direction. The Working Party will be aimed at mechanistic discoveries that are helping us understand how blood components impact disease pathophysiology and clinical outcomes and how this knowledge and ongoing interrogation at the molecular and cellular level is critical for identifying and developing novel component therapies, methodologies and interventions that can improve transfusion support and patient care. By bringing together basic biologists in transfusion medicine, we can have a dedicated and focused group to exchange ideas, identify collaborative projects and elevate basic transfusion science.

  • Date: Sunday June 1, 8:30 – 10:30
  • Location: AMBER 1+2
  • Access: Open 

 

Are you a trainee or at the beginning of your career in basic transfusion research? Listen up!

For early career investigators and trainees, who are focused on basic biology related to transfusion medicine,  this is an excellent opportunity for you to have a spotlight on your research, improve your science through feedback from experts, start new collaborations and expand your network via the Basic Transfusion Biology Working Party. 

  • There are four available pitch slots 
  • You do not have to be an ISBT member to pitch 
  • Pitches should be up to 10 minutes long 
  • This is seperate from being an ISBT speaker at ISBT Milan 
  • If you are chosen, you will receive a certificate 

What subjects could your pitch be on?

  • Mechanisms of Immune Responses to RBCs and platelets
  • Pathophysiology of Pulmonary Transfusion Reactions
  • Molecular mechanism of host-pathogen interactions in transfusion-transmitted diseases
  • Cellular and molecular cross-talks in the bone marrow niche and transfusions
  • Engineered and cell-based methodologies for HSC expansion and production of universal red blood cells and platelets
  • Development of novel iPSC-derived therapeutics and iPSC-based disease modeling
