Review for Lung Transplant Foundation, Cary, NC, USA
The Lung Transplant Foundation was started by a group of Duke lung transplant recipients who wished to address the serious problem of chronic rejection. Rejection occurs most frequently in lung transplant recipients compared to all other solid organ transplant recipients, in part due to the constant interplay between the lungs and the environment. Five years after transplant, approximately 50% of lung recipients have rejection, some of whom have already died as a result.The Lung Transplant Foundation seeks to change this by raising research funds for allocation to physicians with active research programs investigating risk factors and therapeutic treatments for chronic rejection. I am thrilled to be partnering with this organization comprised of inspiring individuals.
