Welcome Message
Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to participate in the 18th Congress of the International Xenotransplantation Association, taking place in the cosmopolitan city of Geneva, Switzerland, from September 30 to October 3, 2025. This prestigious event is expected to attract several hundred participants, including leading experts, researchers, and clinicians from around the world who are at the forefront of xenotransplantation science.
After decades of intense pre-clinical research, several clinical organ xenotransplants have been performed in the USA and China over the last two years, indicating that this approach has reached the level of clinical testing. Continuous improvements will be necessary to allow broader applications.
Geneva, known for its rich history and stunning landscapes, provides the perfect backdrop for a congress dedicated to groundbreaking research and innovative clinical trials in xenotransplantation. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage with renowned professionals and gain insights into the latest advancements and future directions of the field.
We are committed to creating an enriching and impactful experience for all participants. Join us in Geneva for an inspiring and memorable event that will shape the future of xenotransplantation.
We look forward to welcoming you and working together to advance the field.
