The ILTS Basic and Translational Research Committee invites you to create and submit a video regarding a specialized technique or analytical approach related to basic and translational research in liver transplantation. There is no specific video topic, but it must relate to research (i.e. not a video on clinical surgical technique or outcomes research). The idea behind this initiative is to inspire adoption of such novel tools in transplant research!

For example:

• In vivoor in vitro models for functional and mechanistic studies in liver regeneration, graft preservation, graft injury, rejection/tolerance, as well as tumor metastasis (e.g., 3D culture, organoids, mouse or rat orthotopic liver transplant).
• The translation of basic science findings into clinical use (e.g., machine perfusion, operational tolerance, and diagnosis of early allograft dysfunction).
• Introduction of novel platforms or analytical methods related to the basic science of liver transplantation (e.g., single cell analysis, big data, machine learning, and integration of multi-omic data)

All ILTS members are encouraged to submit. Early career/fellows/trainees are especially encouraged to participate.

Video Format:

• English language, subtitles are encouraged
• High-quality resolution (>=640×360; Bps (bit per second) >=800kbps)
• Format: mp4, flv, f4v,webm
• Under 8 min in length

Display:

Videos will be available for viewing after to the ILTS 2023 Congress. Videos will also be displayed at a video booth at the 2023 ILTS meeting in Rotterdam.

Assessment:

Participants at the ILTS 2023 Congress will be able to vote at the ILTS booth on their favorite video. Votes may be cast through a QR code. Following the Congress, the Basic & Translational Research Committee will also vote on their favorite videos.

When choosing a favorite video, please consider the content (what is being said), innovation (is this a new endeavor or a modification of an existing technique?), and impact (what is the effect of this technique on the liver transplant population?).

Prizes:

The Ajmera Transplant Center will generously be supporting monetary prizes totaling $5,000USD. Prizes will be presented to the top 5-7 video submissions after the ILTS 2023 Congress.

How to Apply?

Deadline for Submission: April 15, 2023
