Heading to beautiful #Cyprus for what promises to be excellent transplantation update meeting hosted in Nicosia 🇨🇾 🇬🇷 tomorrow.

Excellent to connect with new friends and colleagues (and of course escape some cooling 🇬🇧 weather to enjoy some October☀️) 👍🏽

Looking forward to speaking at #BASL2025 tomorrow in Belfast about the #EpCOT study

🔟 years in the making - an 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 registry data linkage project using @nhsbt.bsky.social and NHS England data giving insights into post solid organ transplant cancer epidemiology.

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

This #Review in #ASNJASN details what we know about preimplantation biopsies' value in kidney allocation and focuses on identifying gaps in knowledge to be filled by future research. kidney.pub/JASN0820

Among excellent sessions at #WTC2025 🇺🇸, watching my 14-year old son from @kes-stratford.bsky.social give an oral presentation is the highlight 🤩

A great achievement to confidently speak at an international congress (maybe I’m biased 😉) @kes-headmaster.bsky.social

@ttsorg.bsky.social • AST • ASTS

Not had any issues - safe, effective and just some GI side effects to monitor 👍🏽

A great start to #WTC2025 in SF 🇺🇸 helping moderate a 🤗 workshop with 👍🏽 speakers and 🧠 insight from across the 🌍

Key takeaway msgs:

💥 BMI is a number - not a barrier
💥Diet/exercise important but 💊 or 💉 help
💥 🤖 surgery is an excellent option

Especially excited for the oral presentation on Aug 4 - OA29.8 org - by my 14 year old son Aidan 🤗 Is he the youngest presenter at WTC? 🤔 Come to cheer him on 👏🏽

ESOT wants to make sure AI in transplantation addresses real-world clinical needs, starting by listening to those on the ground.

This short survey (<5 mins) is your chance to contribute.

Dr Sunil Daga - Our Research Story Sunil led a ground-breaking collaborative research study to reduce health inequalities around live organ donation, part funded by Leeds Hospitals Charity.

Organ Trafficking: How Germans Buy New Kidneys in Kenya Germans in need of new kidneys are heading to Kenya to buy one. The donors are frequently suffering from bitter poverty. Behind the scheme is an Israeli whom the authorities have been after for years.

The illegal kidney transplant trade continues

Now centered in Kenya, with donors from Africa, Azerbaijan and elsewhere

Recipients from Western Europe, Russia, and other places

An enjoyable few days at the First International Congress of Transplantation in #Karachi 🇵🇰. Great exchange of knowledge and making new contacts 👍🏽

Significant work needed to establish a national deceased donor model but lots of ambition, support & enthusiasm with clear understanding of the need.

One week to go until the deadline for the QUOD Innovation Competition.

We look forward to receiving applications from early career researchers who would like the chance to win QUOD samples to support their studies.

Very interesting analyses in showing success in weight loss with GLP-1 RAs is lost with similar regain of weight after cessation despite lifestyle interventions.

Important data for kidney patients who are taking GLP-1 RA with CKD/DKD, to lose weight for transplant listing or post-transplantation.

Looking forward to joining IPAT 🇬🇧 colleagues Rhana Zakri and Muhammad Khurram in #Karachi 🇵🇰 for the next few days as part of the international faculty. A great program of talks and workshops organised by Dow University of Health Sciences 👍🏽

What about big data and AI?

Thought-provoking and informative session chaired by @adnan-sharif.bsky.social featuring talks by Lynn Morrice and Colin Wilson. #QUODbiobank

@nhsbt.bsky.social @ndsurgicalsci.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

The UK Transplant Registry from @nhsbt.bsky.social is great but can we make it better??

Joint us on May 20th in Birmingham where we discuss the UKTR and how we can maximise our healthcare data resources for donation/transplant research.

Thank you @quod-biobank.bsky.social team for an excellent day in ☀️ Birmingham. Wonderful to hear of ambitious plans going forward.

One thing came through clear - to maximise #QUOD potential we need excellent data for researchers to link biomaterial to robust clinical outcomes.

An excellent summary of the hugely impressive @ukbiobank.bsky.social at the @quod-biobank.bsky.social symposium from Prof Sir Rory Collins 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

A fantastic 🇬🇧 resource for 🌍 research.
