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. The second webinar of 2023 features Professor Robert Zeiser, who is a Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Tumour Immunology at the Department of Haematology, Oncology and Stem-Cell Transplantation at the Medical Center, University of Freiburg in Freiburg, Germany. His research group has focused on utilizing a range of cutting edge imaging techniques to monitor the fate of different cell types in living animals, leading to several publications in the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Medicine, Science Translational Medicine, Blood, Nature Communications and the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Professor Zeiser has over 250 peer-reviewed publications and contributed to 14 book chapters. In this webinar, Professor Zeiser will outline the translational pathway of promising, novel therapies for graft vs host disease from murine models into clinical practice.
