It includes blood and bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and cellular therapy (CT) experts of Indian and South Asian origin  who practice in India, USA, Australia, Middle East and other regions. The Group is focused at learning from each other and contributes towards educational, training, and networking activities.

 

Objectives of the Group are to:

• Establish and maintain a national organization of persons of Southeast Asian origin who have a common interest in the technological, scientific and clinical disciplines related to BMT and CT.

• Support educational activities with other nations with limited resources in the field, especially India, for the promotion of BMT and CT which can result in human improvement and welfare and advance highest possible standards of education, research, and practice of BMT and CT.

• To help and support trainees or other professionals from countries with growing BMT and CT infrastructure by providing exposure to centers with established world-class facilities.

• To educate and inform potential BMT and CT donors from ethnic minorities and in turn help to expand donor pools in the registries.
