Maria E. Lopez Garcia, Staff Physician at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, shared on LinkedIn:
“This week, I also had the opportunity to present our research at International Society of Paediatric Oncology – SIOP – 2026 in San Antonio, Texas!
Our systematic review and meta-analysis explored outcomes of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (Haplo-PTCy) compared with conventional donors in children with hematologic malignancies.
Beyond the data, this project reflects a question that I care deeply about: How can we expand access to potentially curative therapies for children who lack a matched donor?
I’m incredibly grateful to my co-authors and mentors for their support, and to the Meta-Analysis Academy for providing the tools, mentorship, and collaborative environment that helped make this project possible.
Thank you, SIOP, for the opportunity to share our work and connect with an inspiring global community!
