ATI Seminar Series

The Alberta Transplant Institute Seminar Series is a forum for discussion of the latest advances in donation and transplantation and an opportunity to highlight the great work of Institute members. It is a platform to develop collaborations within the Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplant groups and learn from each other. This series also features high-quality international speakers who are world leaders in Organ Donation and Transplantation research.

 

We are excited by this week's Seminar Series speakers, Drs Aminu Bello and  Ike Okpechi, presenting on "Capacity and Access to Kidney Transplantation: Where the World Stands in 2023".
