Transplantation & Cellular Therapies (TCT) SIG

Our Mission

To provide a vibrant forum for interdisciplinary research, professional development, mentorship, networking, and advocacy for all who work with patients undergoing transplantation and cellular therapies.

Transplantation and cellular therapies are increasingly becoming standard of care for some malignant andnon-malignant disorders. The intensive nature of treatment accompanied by an extended recovery and potential medical complications result in significant psychosocial needs among patients and their caregivers.

The transplantation and cellular therapy (TCT) SIG at APOS is poised to develop and organize resources that could advance the psychosocial care and science of this vulnerable population while fostering collaboration and career development among clinicians and researchers who care for this population.
