Classification Method Changing Lives Forever - Renowned Pathologist is shaping the future of medicine
World Renowned Pathologist Changing Lives Forever
EDMONTON, AB, May 20, 2011 /Canada PR News/ -- Dr Kim Solez, director of the Banff Conferences on Allograft Pathology, is celebrating 20 years of helping those who have received kidney transplants, live longer. His Banff Classification system has now grown to be the major standard force behind the global standard for kidney transplants and international clinical trials of new anti-rejection agents, which is essentially, changing the future of medicine.
"Over the last 20 years we have made major inroads to saving people's lives and my own contribution--the Banff schema--has greatly helped people all over the world, especially those who have received kidney transplants," says Solez, who will be directing the Conference in Paris, France this year.
The Banff classification is the worldwide standard for transplant pathology, and the Banff meetings have assumed increasing importance over the past twenty years. Many young people today in transplant pathology orient their entire careers around the classification and the meeting. The classification has been adopted by regulatory agencies around the world as the endpoint for international clinical trials.
"Twenty years ago, I helped doctors all over the world redefine what made a kidney transplant successful. I argue today that we should look at redefining at what the medicine of the future can do for us. I tell my students that the future of medicine is, literally, in their hands. They can either look back to a semi-mythological past, where the doctor was always right--in his own mind--or look to the future, where stem cell based tissue engineering might make the pathology of disease as we know it today obsolete. Those who reject the future will be left out of it," says Solez.
