    IPTA Communities - HLA Group

    We are pleased to announce the formation of the IPTA HLA Community. This group has come together around a shared interest in HLA technology, allocation, HLA matching, and the impact of these areas on patient outcomes in pediatric transplantation. Several initiatives are already underway, and we expect this community to provide an important forum for collaboration, education, and project development within IPTA.

    This is a member-led community, and we warmly welcome additional members. Anyone interested in joining is invited to contact Katie Tait or either of the two co-chairs. The first call will be Tuesday, June 2, 2026, 11:00 EDT

    Mentoring Program

    IPTA promotes involvement of all of its members, especially those in their early career or those who work in places where publication is not considered a priority in the scientific community. For this purpose, a mentoring program has been developed. Hereby, early career researchers can access research projects improving their publication yield.
