CareDx will sponsor a symposium “Breaking New Ground: Innovative Pre- and Post-Transplant Solutions to Improve Allograft Outcomes” on Thursday, April 27. The event will be moderated by Curtis Lind, CareDx Vice President and Head of R&D products. Panelists and topics include:

• Monica Irina Dutescu M,D., Ph.D., National HLA Laboratory, National Institute of Blood Transfusion Prof. Dr. C.T. NICOLAU Bucharest, Romania: High Resolution HLA Typing with AlloSeq Tx – the Experience of National HLA Laboratory, Bucharest.
