The 2017 American Transplant Congress in Chicago was another great success for the Adams Lab. Dr. Adams had several talks and served as a moderator. Dr. Kitchens served as a moderator and chaired a session. Dr. Stephen Kim presented his work on the use of mesenchymal stem cells to improve allograft survival as well as his work on xenotransplantation immunotherapies. The Adams Lab was excited to report the longest pig-to-primate kidney transplant survival, a record 499 days! Another highlight from the 2017 ATC was Dave’s Plenary Session talk in which he discussed the role of CD127 signaling in costimulation independent acute rejection. Overall, the 2017 ATC was fun-filled event with new ideas being shared and new connections being made within a group of individuals dedicated to saving lives through scientific advancements in immunology.
