Celebrating 50 Years of Community
Travel Back in Time
As we look back on our journey from 1974-2024, we are humbled by the remarkable achievements of the European and international transplant and cellular therapy community. Together, we have pioneered groundbreaking advancements, saved countless lives, and inspired hope where it was once scarce. It is a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation exhibited by our members over the past five decades.
Take a moment to review our timeline and acknowledge and honor these achievements that have shaped the landscape of medical science!
Meet Our Past Presidents
In 1974, a small group of visionary clinicians and scientists, Jon van Rood, Bruno Speck, Dick van Bekkum, and Eliane Gluckman and others, started a joint discussion on bone marrow transplantation and set the start of the EBMT.
Now, five decades later, we celebrate EBMT's 50th anniversary, honoring half a century of transformative advancements in haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy. Meet all the past presidents of our society below.
50th Annual Meeting of the EBMT
This Anniversary was not just a milestone; it was an invitation to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the future of our field. It was an opportunity to immerse yourself in cutting-edge scientific content, network with thousands of esteemed healthcare professionals from across the globe, and be part of a community that is driving innovation, hope and change. We invite you to join us next year in Florence from 30 March - 2 April for EBMT 2025.
Dear EBMT Community,
