Welcome!

On behalf of the EBMT, we are very pleased to invite you to a Joint Educational Meeting on Cellular Therapies in Non-Malignant Haematology organized by the Severe Aplastic Anaemia and Haemoglobinopathies Working Parties. The programme has been designed to cover the main aspects of pathophysiology, diagnosis and mostly treatment of bone marrow failure syndromes and haemoglobinopathies. These topics will include the management of these diseases, with special attention to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, gene therapy, and other innovative non-transplant treatment strategies (such as immunosuppressive treatment for aplastic anaemia and complement inhibition for PNH). 

The meeting includes two and half educational days: the first half day will be dedicated to Scientific Business Meetings of the WPs, to provide an update on relevant ongoing studies and new projects. The Scientific Business Meetings are open to any participant who wishes to be informed about and to participate actively in the Working Parties. The other two days will be devoted to educational lectures, with 7 sessions dealing with the most relevant topics of the field, In keeping with the scientific scope of the WPs and with the Educational purpose of the course, the meeting will allow participants to discuss and interact with all these experts during the sessions and the social events.

This stimulating Scientific programme will bring together the world’s leading experts in the field, who are actively contributing to improving our knowledge in the field of bone marrow failure syndromes and haemoglobinopathies.
