Liver Transplant Immunology

The Liver Transplant Immunology Special Interest Group was created with the aim of a better understanding of different aspects of immunology in the liver transplantation setting, focusing on several topics such as transplant tolerance, rejection, immunosuppression strategies, novel immunotherapy approach, immune-monitoring, possible use of cancer immunotherapy in liver transplant patients. The final aim is to improve the management and outcomes of liver transplanted recipients.
