The AAT Turns 40 Give now Fundraise The AAT turns 40 this year. It's been 40 years of progress: from a time when we barely knew what aplastic anaemia was, to working out it could be treated with steroids, the very first transplants, the discovery of ATG, and other treatments like ciclosporin and eltrombopag - changing the outlook for patients. With brand new treatments being trialled and so much to do, we're not standing still: watch our video series, where we invited Professor Ted Gordon Smith to Kings Hospital to meet with Dr Austin Kulasekararaj to celebrate how far treatment has come - and what we could see next. On this page, you can send us a birthday gift: which we'll use to keep supporting patients, and keep looking for the next big treatment improvements.
