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".
We thank Paladin Labs Inc. for their support of the ATI seminar series through an educational grant.
Upcoming seminars:
Our Seminars take a hiatus for the summer, and will return in September 2023. Please sign up for our ATI Transplant Times Newsletter to be kept abreast of upcoming Seminars!
