In 2016, Worldwide Network for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (WBMT) officially stated that the approach for haplo-identical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) created by Prof. HUANG Xiaojuns research team of Peking University Institute of Hematology/the Department of Hematology of PKUPH is called "Beijing Protocol”. It was since then, the “Beijing Protocol” has been recognized by the international counterparts as one of the successful approaches for haplo-SCT. Today, the Department of Hematology of PKUPH has become the National Clinical Research Center for Hematologic Disease and the largest allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation center in the world. And the key technology of the "Beijing Protocol" has been extended to more than 100 transplant centers in China and more than 10 overseas transplant centers in Italy, Israel, France and South Korea.
On the afternoon of January 20, 2021, Peking University Institute of Hematology /the Department of Hematology of PKUPH held the online commemorative event to witness this historic moment.
