WELCOME
The hemoglobin related genetic disorders, namely sickle cell disease (SCD) and thalassemia (TDT), are by far the most frequent monogenetic disorder worldwide affecting several million worldwide, mostly in low and middle income countries. During the last decades, the overall survival has improved significantly predominantly due to education and supportive measures. Nevertheless, despite optimal care the overall survival has not reached average standards.
Curative options such as stem cell transplantation remained reserved for patients with well-matched siblings in developed countries. Only in the last decade significant advancement in molecular science, advancements in drug development, stem cell therapy and gene manipulation technologies started to allow an opportunity for almost all patients with these diseases to improve their quality of life or achieve even cure.
Due to this highly relevant content, the PDWP of the EBMT decided to continue the tradition of the ‘Regensburg Meetings’ and dedicate another scientific meeting exclusively to this area of research, which will gain increasingly importance in the upcoming years.
During three days, all relevant aspects of SCD and TDT will be presented by international experts from all over the world in a live format with in-person attendance availability. Each session will offer the opportunity to interact directly with the expert to discuss the presentation and to ask questions from your clinical practice. Participation is limited to encourage lively interaction and discussion among all participants.
