Dear colleagues,
The congress of the International Xenotransplantation Association (IXA) ended on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland, and was a resounding success. As the President of the Association at that time, I was humbled by the extraordinary attendance from start to finish. This enthusiasm was achieved through the high quality of xenotransplantation work, even unpublished, that was openly shared by leaders in the field for the benefit of clinical translation of this life-saving option of xenotransplantation. The participation of 21 countries in this meeting demonstrated renewed interest in xenotransplantation, fueled by the granting of permissions for clinical trials. I am grateful to the local organizing committee, led by Leo Buhler and the TTS staff, who worked tirelessly to make this congress a huge success. I am confident that the lessons learned from this meeting will be effectively applied to advance the field further. Thanks again to the membership for making it possible. As I welcome our new president, Jay Fishman, and the council, I hope IXA will continue to provide leadership in this field by developing guidance for investigators and for regulatory agencies worldwide. As we drafted the slogan for this meeting, “We only speak Xeno,” IXA will continue to lead the xenotransplantation field in making it a viable and affordable option for overcoming the worldwide organ shortage.
