Rising Stars: The Editorial Fellows Series

Meet our newest Editorial Fellow, Dr. Kushboo Saxena!

Dr. Kushboo Saxena, India
Assistant Professor, Department of Nephrology
Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Center-Institute of Transplantation Sciences (IKDRC-ITS), Ahmedabad, India
Editorial Fellow
Khushboo Saxena, MD, DrNB (Nephrology), FRCP (London), is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nephrology at the Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Center-Institute of Transplantation Sciences (IKDRC-ITS), Ahmedabad, India. Her clinical practice spans the full spectrum of nephrology, with a particular focus on kidney transplantation, including ABO-incompatible transplantation, kidney paired donation, and the management of sensitized patients.

Her academic work centers on improving access to transplantation, with a sustained focus on gender disparities, health systems, and innovative approaches to expanding transplant pathways in resource-constrained settings. She is the recipient of the Women in Transplantation (WIT) Grant for research on sex and gender in transplantation in LMIC (2025-2027), leading a project focused on developing digital tools to improve equitable access to kidney transplantation for women. Her research has been recognized with multiple national and international awards, including the Best Paper Award at the Indian Society of Transplantation (ISOT), the ISODP Congress Award and the TTS-ISOT Mentor-Mentee Award. She actively contributes to multicentric research, national guidelines, and policy discussions in transplantation.

She is currently a member of the Early Career Members Committee of The Transplantation Society and will serve as an Editorial Fellow for Transplantation and Transplantation Direct Journals with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“What keeps me engaged in transplantation is the gap between what we know is possible and what patients actually receive. In day-to-day practice, we see how often access depends on awareness, family decisions, and practical barriers. Much of my work has focused on understanding that gap and trying to reduce it, especially for patients who are often underrepresented.”

AI-assisted Qualitative Research on Kidney Failure Treatment Decisions
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) increasingly impacts all fields of medicine, including transplantation. Clinicians and researchers must learn to capitalize on these rapidly advancing tools to streamline time-intensive tasks. Qualitative research provides valuable narrative syntheses that have influenced the field of transplantation. However, traditional qualitative research can be time-consuming, and experts are in short supply and high demand. Identifying ways to amplify qualitative researchers’ expertise would be useful. The objective of this study was to assess whether GenAI could effectively assist with qualitative data analysis.
Representation of Women Authorship in the Top 5 Transplantation Journals in the United States
In the United States, only 13% of transplant surgeons are women. We evaluated gender distribution and trends of American authorship over the past 10 y in high-impact solid organ transplantation journals to gain insight into the current status of women authorship in transplantation.

B6 Donor Lungs Develop Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction–like Pathology Across Histocompatibility Mismatches in Murine Lung Transplantation
Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains a major barrier to long-term survival after lung transplantation. Murine models are essential for mechanistic studies, but the influence of donor-recipient strain direction and histocompatibility mismatch on chronic pathology is not fully defined. We evaluated the reproducibility of B6-background donor lungs across reciprocal strain combinations as a practical experimental platform.
Patient-reported Opioid use and Pain Management After Living Kidney Donation
This study evaluated donor-reported opioid use and pain management outcomes after living donor nephrectomy at a single center. Prospective data were collected through an automated text-messaging platform to assess postdischarge pain intensity, perceived pain control, and use of prescribed opioids for acute postoperative pain.

TTS Affiliate Spotlight: International Symposium on Organ Donation and Transplantation Held in Kyrgyzstan

TTS is pleased to recognize the successful International Symposium on Organ Donation and Transplantation, held on May 22, 2026, at the Sheraton Hotel Bishkek in the Kyrgyz Republic.

The symposium was organized under the leadership of Başkent University, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, with support from the Turkic World Transplantation Society (TDTD), a TTS affiliate, and the Başkent University Tourism Organization Agency (BUTO).

The meeting brought together 550 participants from 14 countries, including the Kyrgyz Republic, Türkiye, Kazakhstan, India, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Belarus, Pakistan, the United States, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria. This strong international participation contributed to a highly successful and meaningful scientific exchange.

The symposium was also honored by the attendance and support of senior Kyrgyz governmental authorities, including the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Minister of Health, senior cabinet members, and representatives of the Prime Minister’s Protocol Office. Their involvement reflected the importance of strengthening collaboration in healthcare, transplantation medicine, education, and scientific exchange.

This important gathering for the Turkic World was made possible through the leadership and international contributions of Prof. Dr. Mehmet Haberal, Founder of Başkent University and a pioneer in organ transplantation. His longstanding commitment to advancing transplantation medicine and fostering scientific cooperation among Turkic countries played a central role in bringing this symposium to Bishkek.

The symposium represented an important step in enhancing solidarity, cooperation, and a shared medical perspective across the Turkic World.

Congress photographs are available through the “Photos” section of the symposium website: www.tdtd2026.com

TTS extends its congratulations to TDTD, Başkent University, the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, and all contributors, participants, institutions, and supporting authorities involved in this successful event.
