Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you, on behalf of the Swiss Transplantation Society, to join us at the 21st Annual Congress on January 25 and 26, 2024 at the Congress Hotel Seepark, in Thun.
For this annual meeting, our scientific committee, chaired by Patrizia Amico and assisted by Aurelia Schnyder, has prepared a very attractive program, covering very timely topics and relevant issues, both for transplant patients and for transplant specialists.
On Thursday, after the traditional and always very informative reports of Swiss Transplant and the STCS, our program will start with a session on the COVID-19, from pandemic to endemic, what does it mean for us? This will be followed by the now traditional coordinators’ corner and by a discussion on the induction treatment.
As usual, please come to cheer our young colleagues who will present, during the STS award competition session, the 6 best papers published in 2023 as selected by our scientific committee. The prizes will be awarded the same evening during our
networking dinner.
The Friday program will start with a very interesting keynote lecture on how we can use the power of genome editing to improve transplantation. The discussions in the following sessions on ABO incompatible living donor kidney transplantation, AI in transplantation and the management of cancer in transplantation will undoubtedly be of great importance to our day-to-day work.
Our program will end up with the ceremony of the STS Excellence and Innovation awards 2023, and a final session on the edge braking journals/landmark paper and research that changed strategie.
I would like now to thank our sponsors for their very essential participation and of course our colleagues at meeting.com for their faithful, efficient and friendly support.
The Board of our Society, the Scientific Committee and myself are very much looking forward to seeing you soon in Thun and wish you all a very pleasant and fruitful
congress.
Prof. Hendrik Tevaearai Stahel
President of the STS
