Simply Science: The Eighth Annual Bone Marrow Transplant and Cell Therapy Workshop (Orlando, Florida, USA)

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: On December 6, 2019, the Eighth Annual Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) and Cell Therapy Workshop was convened in Orlando, Florida. The workshop was a satellite meeting held prior to the American Association of Hematology annual conference and was attended by 200 physicians and scientists with clinical and research interests in bone marrow transplantation and cell therapy. The unique format consisted of 5‐minute presentations of unpublished research followed by 5 minutes of audience questions and discussion. Basic and translational science was reported, not driven by commercial interests but by a desire to understand basic mechanisms in immunology. This meeting report describes the unique nature of the symposium as not sales focused but science driven, and briefly summarizes not only the key proceedings but also their value to the scientific community at large.
