Uterus Transplantation
0.1 - Baby Steps: Growing the Next Generation of Uterus Transplant Providers
Presenter: Piper Stacey, Eva Gillis-Buck, Quinn Rhodes, Tricia Dewi Anggraeni, Maria Victoria Boccio Piotti, , , Authors: Piper Stacey, Eva Gillis-Buck, Quinn Rhodes, Tricia Dewi Anggraeni, Maria Victoria Boccio Piotti, Paige Porrett
Overview
Uterus transplantation is an emerging field that has been shaped by a group of global pioneers performing most of these transplants as clinical trials. However, the field has rapidly moved out of the domain of pioneers and is reaching new patients, new providers, and new countries. In this webinar, we hear the perspectives of the next generation of medical professionals interested in growing the uterus transplant field across disciplines and across expertise as trainees or as faculty.
Learning Objectives
To learn how UTx has grown in the last 10 years since the first successful live birth in the world.
To learn how newcomers to the field are hearing about this emerging and exciting field.
To determine how newcomers to UTx can be supported by our professional society both at the trainee level as well as the faculty level.
President, International Society of Uterus Transplantation
Paige Porrett is a transplant surgeon at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) who is a national and international leader in uterus transplantation, having started the fourth program of its kind in the U.S. She holds a B.A. in French from Northwestern University, an M.D. from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, and a Ph.D. in immunology from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Porrett is also the inaugural director of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) at the UAB Comprehensive Transplant Institute and leads an NIH-funded laboratory researching the immunobiology of pregnancy and transplantation.
Piper Stacey is a second-year medical student at the University of Massachusetts Chan School of Medicine, with a background in computer science and biology from Dartmouth College, where she graduated with High Honors. Piper is a student in the inaugural cohort of the LEAD@Lahey pathway at UMass Chan, a leadership-focused track dedicated to preparing physicians to address current and emerging challenges in healthcare. Her research sits at the intersection of surgery, ethics, and data science, spanning abdominal aortic aneurysm screening disparities, carotid revascularization outcomes, living donor liver transplantation, and the ethical implementation of AI and imminent death donation in clinical practice. Piper is the co-founder of the UMass Bioethics in Medicine elective and the Lahey Surgery Interest Group. Outside of medicine, she is a triathlete, an avid reader, and outdoor enthusiast.
Surgical Resident, University of California San Francisco
Eva Gillis-Buck is a general surgery resident and PhD candidate at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Dr. Gillis-Buck has a BA from Harvard University with double major in Developmental Biology and Gender Studies, an MPhil in History and Philosophy of Science from Cambridge University, and MD from UCSF. While a medical student she spent two additional years as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Fellow in the laboratory of pediatric surgeon Dr. Tippi MacKenzie, investigating maternal-fetal immunology in a mouse model. After 3 years of general surgery residency, she now is a PhD candidate in the laboratory of transplant surgeon Dr. Jay Gardner, investigating immune tolerance in multiple contexts. Her research interests include maternal-fetal immunology, transplant immunology, and uterus transplantation.
