Biography

Martin Maiers is Vice President of Research at Be The Match where he has worked for 27 years. He leads an R&D translation program focused on applying new tools for HLA matching and algorithm development to improve cell and gene therapies. With his team he has developed a number of tools and methods for searching large donor registries with missing or partial information to identify suitable hematopoietic stem cell donors. He holds a degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin and a Master’s Degree in Computational Biology from the University of Minnesota.

He is a Councilor to the International Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Workshop and is also a member of the WHO Nomenclature Committee for Factors of the HLA System. He serves on the editorial boards of the journals: Human Immunology, HLA: Immune Response Genes and Frontiers in Immunology.

He is a member of the North American, European and Asia-Pacific societies for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics and is a founding member of the Society for Immune Polymorphism.
