Frontier Issues in Organ Transplantation: New Approaches to Saving Lives & Securing Trust

Organ transplantation is at a crossroads. Too many people die for lack of an organ. Confidence in the U.S. transplant system has been shaken. Join three top experts to debate what comes next!

Will new technologies save lives — perfusion options, xenotransplantation, and prolonged organ cryopreservation? Will reorganizing the transplant system and modernizing the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) solidify public trust? This webinar will explore the future of organ transplantation.

Speakers include national experts John Magee, MD (University of Michigan); Anji Wall, MD, PhD, FACS (Texas A&M University); and Andrew Adams, MD, PhD (University of Minnesota). Susan M. Wolf, JD (University of Minnesota) and Timothy L. Pruett, MD (University of Minnesota) will moderate.

The webinar is free and open to the public. It is hosted by the Consortium on Law and Values and co-sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center for Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio) (grant no.
