Peter Reese, MD, PhD directs Vanderbilt’s Center for Transplant Science. He is a transplant nephrologist. His research aims to improve access to transplant and the care of solid organ transplant recipients with tools from epidemiology, ethics and policy. His scientific work includes co-leading pioneering trials that demonstrated the safety and efficacy of transplanting organs from donors with hepatitis C virus infection into uninfected recipients. For his contributions to transplant science and ethics, he received a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers at the White House and was elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation. Dr. Reese is past Chair of the Ethics Committee for the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), which oversees US organ allocation and transplant regulation. His mission encompasses energetic support of talented and motivated young researchers at all stages of training.

Alexandre Loupy, MD, PhD, is Professor of Nephrology and Epidemiology at Necker Hospital and Université Paris Cité, where he leads the Paris Institute for Transplantation & Organ Regeneration (PITOR). He coordinates a national transplant network (11 centers, 8000+ patients) and co-chairs the Banff classification. His research focuses on precision diagnostics in allo- and xenotransplantation, including risk prediction and stratification, immune response, and organ rejection. He has pioneered data-driven methods that reshaped transplant medicine and received major national and European grants in transplant science, including ERC Consolidator Grant 2023 for AI-Care.

Marta Sablik, MD, is a PhD student at the Paris Institute for Transplantation and Organ Regeneration, supervised by Pr. Alexandre Loupy. She holds medical and research master’s degrees from Erasmus University Rotterdam. In 2023, she was awarded a doctoral contract through a competitive selection process at Université Paris Cité (ED562 BioSPC, INSERM U970). Her research spans kidney and lung transplantation, combining epidemiological and molecular approaches to study microvascular inflammation in kidney allografts and enhance diagnostic classification of lung allograft rejection.
