Stop. Waddle time. HHRI Principal Investigator Kristina Burrack, PhD, along with 122 participants of the year-long women in STEMM leadership program, Homeward Bound, “could not pass go or collect $200.” They trekked across the lands of the Antarctica Peninsula, pausing along the way to wait for any penguin crossings.

SRTR biostatisticians are using data to help transplant communities

Dr. Grace Lyden, Dr. Maria Masotti, and Yoon Son Ahn, MS, are biostatisticians working with the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) to solve complex and life-impacting problems.

Dr. Lyden breaks it down: “Our group helps to design and evaluate organ allocation policy in the United States, which is pretty amazing. We also publish transplant program evaluations, create online tools for patient-decision making in transplant, and write research papers.”
