iGEM Frankfurt: Student Project on Organ Donation

The iGEM team “HIDE – HLA Interference via Disguise and Erasure” is focusing on organ donation and transplantation. The goal is to specifically reduce the immune response to transplanted organs without suppressing the immune system throughout the entire body. Instead, the aim is to attenuate the immune response locally at the transplanted organ.
