Please mark your calendar for March 27-28, 2025, and stay tuned for more information regarding registration, speakers, and agenda. We look forward to seeing you in Edmonton to contribute to the future of transplantation science.

Symposium Overview: The last two decades have brought extraordinary advancements in molecular and computational technologies, enabling unprecedented characterization of genetic, phenotypic, and functional states down to the single-cell level. This symposium will gather leaders in transplantation, computational biology, and machine learning to explore how these systems' immunology tools can be leveraged to address challenges in transplantation, including patient and donor heterogeneity, sample variation, and the need for precision medicine approaches.

Topics to be Addressed:

  • Leverage systems immunology technologies and big data for advancing transplant immunology.
  • Decipher and distinguish allogeneic immune responses from immune responses to infectious pathogens.
  • Define early signatures of allograft health and injury.
  • Integrate multi-omic and multi-modal data derived from circulating and graft resident- immune cells phenotyping to generate biologically relevant functional signatures, predictive outcomes, and consequent precision intervention.
  • Leverage publicly available datasets or datasets generated by clinical trials.
  • Bridge the gap between animal and clinical studies.
  • Overcome patient heterogeneity, variation in sampling, immunosuppression, infection, and other comorbidities.


Warm regards,
