Trainee Committee

The EBMT trainee committee was established in 2021, on behalf of the young ambassadors 2020, with the overall aim of addressing the specific needs of trainees working in bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy, as well as providing advice and support for trainees at all levels. The group is composed of trainees and young investigators with a broad range of experience and interests and serves to provide a platform for trainees to engage with the wider EBMT community.

Trainee Pearls

Welcome to “Trainee Pearls”, a new initiative brought to you by the EBMT Trainee Committee to deliver the most important messages (“the pearls”) of high-profile research works in hematology and bone marrow transplant to our fellow trainees all over the world. The topics will span from classical hematology to more focused bone marrow transplant research. The selected research article will be discussed directly with young authors who have been involved with the published work.
