We cordially invite you to join us for our Transplant Center Research Symposium on Wednesday, February 10, 2027, at The Vanguard Hotel in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Check-in will begin at 12:00 p.m. The symposium will take place from 12:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. followed by refreshments, hors d’oeuvres, and conversation until 6:30 p.m. We are delighted to host this celebration to showcase the research shaping the next era of transplantation.

The goal of this symposium is to review current advances in transplantation and emerging innovations that are shaping the next era of transplant care. The session will focus on strategies to repair and preserve transplanted organs, including novel therapeutics for chronic allograft dysfunction, precision surveillance, management of donor-derived infections, graft optimization, advances in cancer management, and molecular assessment of rejection and recurrent disease. The symposium will explore the role of informatics in quality improvement and advances in regenerative medicine, including the development of organoids and their potential translation into future transplant care.

Continuing Education credits will be available and are detailed in the Registration Link. We look forward to seeing you there!
