The Centre for Blood Transplant and Cell Therapies (CBTCT) brings together the largest allogeneic stem cell transplant units in Australia with a focus on identifying transplant and cell therapy strategies to reduce graft versus host disease and improve patient and disease outcomes after transplant. In this webinar series, speakers will review major topics in stem cell transplantation and cell therapy, highlighting how key advances are addressing the current challenges in stem cell transplantation. This webinar features Professor Thomas Luft who is a consultant haematology and oncologist and the taskforce leader for allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant and myelodysplastic syndromes at the Heidelberg University Hospital. Following the completion of his PhD studies at the University of Melbourne, Prof Luft completed post-doctoral fellowships at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in Melbourne as well as the German Cancer Research Centre, where is now the Head of the “Adaptive Immune Regulation” research group. Prof Luft’s research has focused on endothelial complications following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation leading to several publications in high impact factor journals and several presentations at international conferences. In this webinar, Prof Luft will be speaking on the early endothelial complications after haematopoeitic stem cell transplant.
