Please apply: Jon J. van Rood Award The Jon van Rood award was created in the name of the late Jon van Rood, a long active immunologist who made seminal discoveries and observations in the field of cell and tissue transplants, in particular hematopoietic cell transplantation. While hematopoietic cell transplantation remains a historical and canonical form of cell transplant and in many of its applications in immunotherapy of haematological malignancies, many recent developments have led to the approval and commercialization of innovative industry-manufactured medicinal products, some of which have resulted in the engineering of autologous or allogeneic immune effector cells with clinical efficacy in some disease subsets. To recognize these important changes, the scope of the Jon van Rood Award is now expanded to cover immunological aspects of hematopoietic cell transplantation as well as new developments in the design and evaluation of immune effector cell therapies. The EBMT Cellular Therapy & Immunobiology Working Party (CTIWP) is pleased to offer this prestigious (5,000€) award for outstanding contributions in the field of hematopoietic transplantation immunology, immunogenetics, tolerance, graft-vs-leukaemia/tumour effects, immune monitoring and development of innovative therapeutic approaches based on the engineering of immune effector cells. The selection will be undertaken by a distinguished international jury. The award will be presented on an annual basis during the Cellular Therapy and Immunobiology Working Party Scientific Session at the EBMT Annual Meeting. Important information to qualify for the award: The paper should be published or accepted for publication during the year 2024. The candidates should not be older than 40 years on December 31st, 2024. The Award is restricted to the first author of the paper or one of the first co-authors with equal contribution*.
