Hematology annual course: Haploidentical transplantation of Hematopoietic Progenitors

Haploidentical donors are an option for patients who do not have an adequate conventional donor. Invited speakers: Drs. Leo Luznik and Ephraim Fuchs Johns Hopkins University, who have developed the method that has allowed the expansion of this type of transplant. Dr. Adriana Seber from Brazil Drs.
