## Abstract

The abstracts submitted for the Cell Therapy Transplant Canada (CTTC) 2024 Annual Conference are contained within. The conference was held 1–3 May 2024, and abstracts were submitted for review under four different categories. The best abstracts, as judged by the CTTC abstract review committee, were invited to give a talk during one of the conference sessions, while the remaining abstracts were invited to be showcased as a poster during the conference networking session.

On behalf of Cell Therapy Transplant Canada (CTTC), we are pleased to present the Abstracts of the CTTC 2024 Annual Conference. The conference was held on 1–3 May 2024 in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, at the Victoria Conference Centre, and attracted 293 in-person delegates and five virtual attendees. Several plenary sessions were held on topics such as gene therapy for hemoglobin disorders, optimizing donor selection, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) strategies, collaborative care, survivorship, graft failure, and CAR-T therapy. Poster authors presented their work during a lively and engaging networking reception on Thursday, 2 May, and oral abstract authors were featured during the oral abstract session in the afternoon of Friday, 3 May 2024. Forty-nine (49) abstracts were selected for presentation as posters and six (6) as oral presentations. Abstracts were submitted within four categories: (1) Basic/Translational Sciences, (2) Clinical Trials/Observations, (3) Laboratory/Quality, and (4) Pharmacy/Nursing/Other Transplant Support. The top six (6) abstract authors were invited to give an oral presentation, and the top four (4) poster abstracts were selected to receive an award. All of these were marked as “Award Recipient” within the relevant category. Three abstracts were determined by the peer review panel to be inappropriate for this conference and were not invited to present at the conference, and two authors withdrew their abstract; therefore, five abstract numbers are missing from the list. We congratulate all the 2024 abstract presenters on their research and contributions to the field.
