IMIRT 2012: 1st International Meeting on Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Transplantation
On behalf of SFT, ESOT and TTS

Dear Colleagues,

Preventing ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is to organ transplantation what the foundation is to a building. You do not see it but the solidity and the longevity of the building relies directly on it. Although the mechanisms of IRI are still not fully understood, much progress has been made in recent years. Ischemia reperfusion injury not only leads to major metabolic dysfunction but also triggers the innate immune response, which in turn provides the co-stimulation signal for adaptive immunity. It is now well established that the severity of IRI impacts on long-term graft outcome. The organ shortage, experienced in almost all countries developing organ transplant programs, requires the use of more and more extended criteria donor (ECD) organs or those retrieved from donors after cardiac death (DCD). The former are more vulnerable to IRI because of pre-existing lesions; the latter experience warm ischemia, which is an experimental model of IRI. Improving our understanding of the lesions in order to better prevent or treat them has become a major goal in the field of transplantation.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 1st IMIRT meeting.

The Scandinavian Transplantation Society XXVI Congress
It is with great pleasure that, on behalf of the Society and the Organizing Committee, I invite you to attend The Scandinavian Transplantation Society XXVI Congress to be held in Reykjavik Iceland May 9 – 11, 2012.

The venue is HARPA - our new Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Centre, located at the harbour with a view to mount Esja. The harbour is at the centre of town so attendees should be able to enjoy Reykjavik to the fullest.

The scientific program and the format of the congress will be in the traditional form. We aim for a fruitful, constructive and interactive congress with numerous scientific papers presented and State-of-the Art lectures giving rise to debates and productive discussions.

Iceland in early spring is well worth visiting and it would be a good idea to set aside a little time for excursions.

Cordially
Magnus Bodvarsson
