Event Details

In recognition of DonateLife Week 2012, we will explore the barrier that is the immune system. While it usually protects us from evil invaders, the immune system becomes a hindrance for organ transplantation.

What is tissue matching all about? How does life change after an organ transplant? How can research make our immune systems accept these “foreign” body parts? Bronwyn Coles, Toby Coates and Samantha McDonnell will answer your questions.

Free, but booking required 

Sponsored by the Organ and Tissue Authority 

In association with DonateLife SA
