This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive.
I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.

Fun fact - I’m Canadian
Dr. El Kateb has been part of the faculty for 2 years, but he has been with us for a lot longer than that. He rotated at @NephroASJH as a med student,
then was a resident for 3 years with us,
then 2 years of nephrology fellowship,
and then a transplant year
