Harry Dolstra, theme Cancer development and immune defense, is elected as new executive board member and treasurer of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT)

We congratulate Harry Dolstra with this election as new board member of the EBMT. 

The EBMT has more than 4,000 members in over 60 countries, and is a collaborative peer network of professionals working, in centers and as individuals, in the field of clinical stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy. Members contribute to and benefit from the collective knowledge that the EBMT has accrued, with the ultimate goal of saving the lives of patients with blood cancers and other life-threatening diseases. The EBMT has a governing body, the Board of Association, and two sets of groups that channel the society's research aims and other activities: the Working Parties and the EBMT Committees.

The EBMT is devoted to the promotion of all knowledge associated with the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells from all donor sources and donor types including basic and clinical research, education, standardization, quality control, and accreditation for transplant procedures. The mission is to save the lives of patients with blood cancers and other life-threatening diseases by advancing the fields of blood and marrow transplantation and cell therapy worldwide through science, education and advocacy.
