This masterclass aims to review and discuss the current and future proposals to attain personalized immunosuppression and drug minimization in kidney transplanted patients. It will also discuss the local resources to accomplish this goal and these protocols’ results.
Learning Objectives:
To review current and future strategies to perform a personalized and minimized immunosuppression
To discuss which are the opportunities and results in the region
Faculty:
Personalized immunosuppression and minimization: where are we now and what is on the horizon
Ruth Sapir-Pichhadze
Assistant Professor Department of Medicine Division of Experimental Medicine, McGill University Montreal, Canada
Dr. Sapir-Pichhadze's research focuses on the application of personalized medicine strategies for the prevention of immune-mediated injuries. Specifically, she is interested in identifying genetic determinants of donor and recipient compatibility in an effort to optimize organ allocation schemes, inform personalized surveillance schedules, and establish individually tailored therapeutic regimens in kidney transplant candidates and recipients.
Are we doing this safely in the region?
