Bio
Our research seeks to answer two central questions:
“How can we reduce the gap between the number of people who need organ transplants and the availability of organs for transplantation?”
In recent years, the number of deceased organ donors has remained flat and the number of living donors has declined. In the meantime, the number of people waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant continues to rise, with over 120,000 people currently on the national transplant waiting list. Together with colleagues at BIDMC, the New England Donor Services, and several transplant programs around the country, we are developing and evaluating novel strategies to increase the rates of both living and deceased donation. These strategies address individual and systematic barriers we have identified through earlier research that are associated with lower organ donation rates.
“How can we reduce persistent race and income disparities in transplantation?”
Some minorities and low-income patients, relative to white patients and those with more financial resources, experience more kidney transplant access barriers, are more likely to have initiated dialysis at time of transplant referral, wait longer for a deceased donor transplant, are less likely to receive a live donor kidney transplant, have higher mortality rates on the waiting list, and have less optimal transplant outcomes. Since the proportion of patients on the kidney transplant waiting list is increasing for racial/ethnic minorities (while declining for whites), the shortage of deceased donor kidneys is likely to exacerbate these transplant disparities in the years ahead. We are conducting studies to better understand the precise cause of these disparities, to evaluate novel strategies for mitigating these disparities, and to examine the impact of policy changes on these disparities.
