Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Symposium

Thursday, April 4, 2024, 8:00 AM - Friday, April 5, 2024, 4:50 PM, Alumni Center, Stanford, CA

The Stanford Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Symposium is a two day hybrid activity. Given the ever-expanding patient population and diagnoses considered for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) and Cellular therapies as well as the complex supportive care required- there is an ongoing need for education of our colleagues that refer and care for these patients prior to and after these therapies. In addition to reviewing the state-of-the-art transplant and cellular therapy-related treatments for hematologic and select nonhematologic diseases--- emphasis will also be placed on the approach to the unique, older patient population considered for these therapies.

Registration fee includes course materials, certificate of participation, breakfast and lunch.  The symposium is a hybrid activity; you can attend in person or virtually.  Please select the corresponding registration type when registering.
