2024 GvHD National Symposium

About the Event

This unique conference focuses solely on Graft vs. Host Disease (GvHD) – a complication that affects more than 60% of bone marrow transplant recipients. The conference will review cutting-edge breakthroughs in GvHD research and treatments to improve the lives of thousands of people living with the disease.

Since 2010, the Meredith Cowden Foundation – in partnership with the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, National Cancer Institute, and Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute – has hosted this collaborative event. This event is also co-sponsored by UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
