“Creating Blue Skies Overhead for All” Introduction of the 2022 Recipient of the Medawar Prize of the Transplantation Society: Professor Jeremy Chapman
The Medawar Prize was designed to honor Sir Peter Medawar for his contributions to transplantation research. His most notable work was the discovery of acquired immune tolerance, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1960 shared with Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet.
Paired Exchange Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Nine-year Experience From North India
Paired exchange liver transplantation is an evolving strategy to overcome ABO blood group incompatibility and other barriers such as inadequate graft-to-recipient weight ratio and low remnant liver volume in donors. However, for the transplant team to carry 4 major operations simultaneously is a Herculean effort. We analyzed our experience with liver paired exchange (LPE) program over the past 9 y.Transplantation Direct - Highlighted Tweet
Relationship of Exercise Capacity, Physical Function, and Frailty Measures With Clinical Outcomes and Healthcare Utilization in Lung Transplantation: A Scoping Review
Measures of exercise capacity, frailty, and physical function are commonly used in lung transplant candidates and recipients to evaluate their physical limitations and the effects of exercise training and to select candidates for transplantation. It is unclear how these measures are related to clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization before and after lung transplantation. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe how measures of exercise capacity, physical function, and frailty are related to pre- and posttransplant outcomes.TTS-ILTS Paired Transplant Centers Program - Apply Today!

Survey - Using Social Media to Promote Cutting-Edge Research in Transplantation
Greetings,
Researchers from NYU Langone Health are conducting a research study titled Using Social Media to Promote Cutting-Edge Research in Transplantation. Dr. Macey Levan from the Departments of Surgery and Population Health at NYU Langone Health is the Principal Investigator leading this research. The purpose of this study is to learn how members of the Transplantation community use social media for professional purposes and how they see themselves using it in the future.
You qualify to complete this study if you fall under one of the following categories:
- Subscribers to the weekly email of new published articles in the Transplantation or Transplantation Direct journals
- Have submitted an article to the Transplantation or Transplantation Direct journals in the past 5 years
- Member of The Transplantation Society (TTS)
- Subscribers to newsletters from the TTS (Quarterly - Tribune, Weekly - Tribune Pulse)
Participation in this study is voluntary and will consist of completing an online survey about your thoughts on how you use social media for professional purposes and how you see yourself using it in the future. It will take about 5 minutes of your time.
If you are interested in participating, please click the link below to complete the survey:

If you have any questions or concerns about this study, please contact Dr. Levan at Macey.Levan@nyulangone.org.
This study has been reviewed by the NYU Langone Health Institutional Review Board (Study Number: 22-00681).
