Dr Robert A. Montgomery, Anthony Clarkson, Dr Muhammad Mansoor Mohiuddin: three globally distinguished personalities from the transplant sector, three “Great Organ Donation Stories” join the 1st Transplant Masterclass organized by the Onassis Foundation under the scientific auspices of the Hellenic Transplant Organization and supported by the Hellenic Transplantation Society, the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center and the Onassis Scholars' Association.
Transplant Masterclasses is an initiative led by the Onassis Foundation that sets a new meeting point for innovation, best practices and future trends in the field of transplantation. Under the scientific auspices of the Hellenic Transplant Organization and the cooperation of specialized bodies, such as the Hellenic Society of Organ Transplantation, the European Society for Organ Transplantation, and the DTI Foundation, among others, the Onassis Foundation launches the organization of two annual Transplant Masterclasses – one online and one in physical form – for healthcare professionals who operate in the field of organ donation and transplantation, but also in general for anyone interested in furthering their scientific knowledge in this field.
Technological innovations and scientific research in the field of transplantation come in a fascinating encounter with human stories and life experiences. The Transplant Masterclasses aim to become one of the main pillars of the National Initiative being assumed by the Onassis Foundation for the development of transplantations in our country, with the construction of the Onassis National Transplant Center (ONTRC) lying in the core of the initiative.
