CEOT
The 2017 Cutting Edge of Transplantation (CEOT) meeting, scheduled for February 23-25, is an intimate scientific meeting for discussion and debate about how to improve the longevity of transplanted organs.
We’re kicking off CEOT with a different approach. Watch presenters pitch their ideas in transplant tolerance to our own group of CEOT Sharks. In this session, presenters will not only have to prove their approach, but prove that their approach is the best, and better than the competition. Don’t miss the premiere of this CEOT experience! View the entire program here.
