In addition, in the detailed program section, each day of the Congress has been tabbed and printed with a Program-at-a- Glance for that specific day -- morning sessions on one side and afternoon sessions on the reverse -- and the subsequent pages color-coded.

OThis Congress marks the 50th Anniversary of the Society, and it is only the second time that our Congress is being held in Asia. The program committee has been working hard to deliver you an exciting and innovative program. We have outstanding international experts at the highest level giving overviews of our understanding of modern biology and how it will impact transplantation. These include presentations on the microbiome, polyreactive alloantibodies, new outcomes for hepatitis C, our understanding of the molecular biology of aging, and mapping of the human immune system. In addition to excellent plenary talks, there are a wide range of state-of-the-art lectures on every fac et of transplantation, as well as an excellent and extensive education program. Finally, I would like to remind you of the 50th Anniversary celebrations for the Society. The highlight is a series of videos capturing key events and developments that defined the term of all available past presidents of the Society. This is an extraordinary retrospective of what we have achieved in the last 50 years. I urge you all to visit the Society’s booth in the Exhibit Area and view these presentations. A warm welcome, Philip J. O'Connell TTS 2016 Congress Chair President, The Transplantation Society 4 26th International Congress of The Transplantation Society WELCOME Messages Dear Friends and Colleagues, t is our tremendous pleasure and certainly an honor to extend to you a very warm welcome to the 26th International ICongress and concurrent celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Transplantation Society. As the local host and one of the co-organizers together with the Thai Transplantation Society, we welcome you to Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong, literally translated “Fragrant Harbor”, is one of the most significant global financial centers as well as one of the healthiest places in the world. However, with a deceased donor organ donation rate of only a fraction of that of most Western countries, organ transplantation here relies heavily on voluntary living organ donation. We hope this international event of the transplantation community not only provides transplant professionals with an instrumental and cozy arena for intellectual exchanges, but also serves as a cultural hub for generation of new ideas in the promotion of organ donation for the region and the world. We believe you will enjoy the world-class educational activities carefully organized by the scientific committee. The Congress will offer plenty of networking opportunities for you to meet and interact with fellow researchers, clinicians, and friends. Time out from the Congress in the evenings will be particularly refreshing. We sincerely wish you a pleasant stay in this East- meets-West melting pot. Thank you for coming to Hong Kong. Dr. Wai Leung Chak President, Hong Kong Society of Transplantation Professor See Ching Chan TTS 2016 Congress Vice-Chair August 18–23, 2016 | Hong Kong | www.tts2016.org 5 WELCOME Messages Dear colleagues, ladies, and gentlemen, Welcome to the TTS 2016 Congress! s co-host of the 26th International Congress of The Transplantation Society, we, the Thai Transplantation ASociety, would like to extend to you our warmest welcome to the TTS 2016 Congress in Hong Kong! This is also a special occasion for us to celebrate The Transplantation Society’s 50th Anniversary. The Thai Transplantation Society has been working very hard in order to bring this important Congress to Asia. The Transplantation Society has supported this endeavor, and we are now brought together in Hong Kong. We believe this Congress will provide an inspiring platform for transplant specialists to meet and communicate in the many forums to ensure that the TTS Congress remains at the cutting edge of our field. We shall all be very proud of the development of transplantation over the past 50 years, and excited about what is coming in the future. We are certain that you will enjoy the Congress. Your interactions with your colleagues from many regions and countries will stimulate creative ideas and bring fresh perspectives. These will be your personal gain for attending the Congress. The biennial TTS Congress has a long reputation of fostering friendships and new professional collaborations, and it provides an unprecedented occasion to network among transplant physicians, surgeons, and scientists in our related fields. We would like to encourage you to take part in a maximum of activities and maximize your benefits in joining the TTS 2016 Congress.
