Huge congratulations to Dr. Timothy Caulfield for this achievement! Honored and fortunate to host your fantastic talk at our symposium

We are getting started with day 2 of the PTx symposium with Dr. Ahmed Mostafa who uses computational modeling to predict graft outcomes for kidney transplantation!

Dr. Dimitri Monos from the University of Philidelphia looks for alloreactivity using binding assays to score binding and improve matching for organ donor selection

Spotlight talk by CareDx® Gordon Hill discusses initiatives to improve matching and patient outcomes in transplantation

Our very own Dr. Paul Keown presents clinical trial design and the importance of patient centricity

A lifetime of tolerance? Dr. Megan Levings presents studies engineering regulatory T cells to induce specific graft-localized tolerance during transplantation

Go where the problem is - the tissue! Dr. Michael Mengel analyzes allografts using spatial biology to study rejection at its source

Spotlight talk by 10x Genomics Adriana Suarez highlights their single cell and spatial sequencing capabilities!

How can we better translate research into the clinic? Dean Regier discusses the roadblocks and how to address them

A former patient of Dr. Paul Keown, forensic scientist Dr. David Sweet provides his journey of pancreas and kidney transplantation and facing adenocarcinoma. Having low chances of survival in 2012, he shares his stories with us today.

Every minute counts. Lisa Ridgway, a former lawyer, was a stem cell donor for her brother. Struggling with mental health after graft complications, her journey has led her to research advocacy, patient oriented research, and becoming a valuable patient partner.

Another round of applause to our fantastic speakers! Thank you so much for joining us for this year's PTx symposium - we will see you again soon! A big thank you to our sponsors again for making this event happen(:

📢ANNOUNCEMENT: Genome Alberta, with support from the Government of Alberta (Alberta Government), GenomeBC, and key partners, is pleased to announce funding for eight new initiatives for improving patient care across Alberta and BC.

Congratulations to our researchers for securing nearly $1M funding for "Overcoming Barriers for Rapid Adoption of Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA for Surveillance of Kidney Allograft Injury in Canada" project

As Dr. Michael Barnett recently retired, the team got together for dinner last week to say THANK YOU to Mike, for his decades of leadership, mentorship, and groundbreaking work in hematology. Mike's legacy has shaped generations of care, research, and excellence.

Happening right now! Close-out meeting for our 7 year Genome Canada and GenomeBC funded project 273AMR: Precision Medicine CanPREVENT AMR - Applying Precision Medicine Technologies in Canada to Prevent Antibody Mediated Rejection and Premature Kidney Transplant Loss.

The "Rolling Stones" of transplantation gathered in Vancouver, BC on October 6, 2025 to honor the career of Professor Paul Keown with a Festschrift. The day included talks & video tributes from Paul's mentors, peers, colleagues and mentees, reflections from Paul and a dinner.
