Experimental Transplantation and Immunology Clinical Program

Mission

The Experimental Transplantation and Immunology Clinical Program is dedicated to coordinated efforts in basic, preclinical, and clinical investigations in the areas of immunology, tumor angiogenesis, hematopoiesis, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The goal is to generate information from basic and preclinical investigations leading to the development of curative hematopoietic stem cell transplant-based therapies. Information from treatment protocols (including novel endpoints generated in the course of basic/preclinical research) is used to generate new questions and studies in the basic and preclinical research efforts.
