Great to be a part of the deliberate but cautious momentum of xenotransplantation.

Transplant Institute’s annual participation in Bellevue’s World AIDS Day event- raising awareness of organ donation by and for PWH. Even more meaningful this year with recent HOPE Act updates!

[Sapna Amin Mehta MD @SapnaMehtaMD]

So enjoyed being a guest on @NYUDocs last week & the community created through the Patient Experience Book Club. Couldn’t help notice how many of the group’s 100 fiction and nonfiction reads since 2012 were ID related. Holding one of my all time faves!

[NYU Langone Health @nyulangone]

A surgical team at NYU Langone Health has made history by performing the world’s first fully robotic double #lungtransplant, representing a major breakthrough in #roboticsurgery—and offering Cheryl Mehrkar a fresh start at life.

Thank you Christine Durand and @Dorry_Segev for your leadership of the HOPE studies allowing us to bring this closer to standard of care for PLWH. & Gratitude to the NYU TxID and Txp research teams for all the hard work over the years to participate in this for patients at NYULH.

In our latest @NEJM study https://t.co/keuQ41ND0x we have found that outcomes in patients who got an HIV kidney fare as well as someone without the virus.

Let’s realize the promise of the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act.

There has always been a low risk of complications for kidney donors after surgery. Now, a new study from NYU Langone Health shows that it's safer than ever before, thanks to surgical advancements.

Can one liver save two lives? At NYU Langone Health, the answer is yes.

Learn how a team of more than 20 providers mobilized to perform a split-liver transplant to save the lives of two patients, who are 60 years apart in age: https://t.co/DqoxfFMRSP

Vincent needed a new kidney, and his wife Griselda wanted to help. She donated a kidney to a stranger in hopes of getting Vincent off the waitlist sooner, and 54 days later, he got his new kidney at NYU Langone Health.

Science + collaboration + balancing risk through carefully planned research = xenotransplantation in 2024. & at the center of it all patients for whom good options are otherwise not available
