Share the Science LIVE at BMT Tandem: Dr. Miguel-Angel Perales, Immune System Reconstitution Post-Transplant
Immune system reconstitution post-transplant is a major challenge for cancer patients. Dr. Miguel-Angel Perales is an expert in this field.  At BMT Tandem 2017, Dr. Perales spoke live as part of our on-going #SHARETHESCIENCE series.
Save the Cord Foundation and Mediware, Inc. welcomed Dr. Miguel-Angel Perales as our featured speaker this year at BMT Tandem in Miami, Florida. Dr. Perales presented “Immune Reconstitution after Stem Cell Transplant: Challenges and Opportunities.”  This event was free and open to the public.
NOW AVAILABLE:  RECORDING FROM THIS LIVE EVENT. CLICK HERE.

We encourage health professionals and current medical students in the area to attend. If you have a family member about to undergo a stem cell transplant, you may also find this presentation of particular interest. Join us by reserving your place now (free).
Immune reconstitution following a stem cell transplant is crucial for patients. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) is an established treatment for hematologic malignancies. However, it is associated with significant adverse events, including infection, relapse, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). An important variable that may affect these outcomes is the recovery of the immune system after transplant.  Surprisingly, there are no FDA approved methods or strategies for immune reconstitution. Several preclinical and clinical studies have identified promising therapeutic strategies for immune regeneration.
In this live presentation, Dr. Perales will review immune reconstitution following HCT, with a particular emphasis on factors that contribute to delayed immune recovery post transplant, including graft source, and the clinical consequences. He will also discuss current clinical and research assays to monitor post-HCT immune recovery and highlight some of the potential strategies that are currently under investigation to enhance immune recovery in HCT recipients.
