ECP Immunomodulation Award 2024
Celebrating 30 Years of Therakos ECP Immunomodulation™ treating GvHD Patients
Advancing ECP Immunomodulation Investigator Award in Graft versus host disease:
Refining THERAKOS ECP Immunomodulation™
The Award
In 2024 we have reached a significant milestone in that Therakos ECP ImmunomodulationTM has been treating GvHD patients for 30 years. To recognise this fact and demonstrate our continued commitment to investigation the science of ECP this years award will focus on GvHD.
As in previous years, the 2024 award programme is intended to recognise and support young researchers or their institutions who are making a difference in advancing the knowledge around ECP Immunomodulation, in the EMEA region*, with one educational grant of €75,000. This year’s award programme supports research that investigates the overarching immunomodulatory role of ECP while harnessing the ability of each patient’s immune system to modulate dysregulated immune function in Graft versus Host disease.
