TAPID collaboration
TAPID (Transplantation and Primary Immunodeficiency [PID]) is an important and ongoing expert collaboration facilitated by ASCIA, between clinical immunologists, transplant physicians and international experts. A/Prof Theresa Cole is the TAPID coordinator and ASCIA President. TAPID members and publications are listed below.
The main objective of TAPID is to enable complex PID and transplantation cases to be peer reviewed and discussed in a confidential expert forum and to publish guidelines. Three publications have been developed as a result of this project and it is our intention to develop more publications in future.
In-person TAPID meetings have been supported by unrestricted educational grants from CSL Behring since 2013.
TAPID meetings
The TAPID collaboration was initiated in May 2013, and since then there have been face to face meetings in February 2014, May 2017, May 2018 and May 2019.
TAPID Zoom meetings continue to be held from 5.30-6.30pm AEDT or AEST on the 3rd Wednesday of each month and the schedule for 2023 is shown below. On Saturday 29th April 2023 a face to face TAPID meeting was held with 50 participants.
A TAPID Case Discussion Form needs to be completed for every deidentified case to be discussed.
