Grand Ballroom L
Chair
Prakash Satwani, MBBS, MD, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, USA
Speakers
Prakash Satwani, MBBS, MD, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, USA – Building a Government Sponsored Bone Marrow Transplant Center in India: Challenges and Opportunities
Samuel Campanelli Freitas Couto, PhD, Fundação Pró-Sangue Hemocentro de São Paulo, Brazil, Children's National, USA – Increasing access to Advanced Cellular Therapies in Brazil
Jaap Jan Boelens, MD, PhD, Transplantation and Cellular Therapies, MSKCC, USA – Haplo BMT in Hemoglobinopathies in Thailand
GCT are rapidly expanding (mainly in high income countries). In middle and low income countries significant advances has been made to improve outcomes using novel transplant platforms and have started producing there own CGT products. What can we learn from them? Is complex always better? Suggestion: combine with South/Middle America region?
