“This year’s CEoT meeting theme, ’embracing new frontiers in transplantation’ is fortuitous given the recent addition of dd-cfDNA in the ISHLT (International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation) guidelines. Molecular surveillance is gaining momentum and I am proud to be part of the American Society of Transplantation committee that wrote a letter to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services advocating for continued advancement of biomarker research in organ transplantation,” said Sean Pinney, MD, Professor of Medicine; Co-Director, Heart and Vascular Center; Director, Richard P. Parrillo Family Center for Clinical and Translational Cardiology; Director, Advanced Heart Failure, Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support, University of Chicago Medicine. “Molecular biomarkers are increasingly being considered as an effective non-invasive alternative to biopsy that can help clinicians assess allograft function and rejection.”
