Mind the gap! Advancing transplantation with Tina Liedtky, President of the Transplant Diagnostics Division, Thermo Fisher Scientific

March 12, 2025 • Qualio

As the organ transplant list continues to grow, experts in the transplant diagnostics industry are looking for ways to address the supply and demand challenges within the field.

New tactics, like retransplantation and xenotransplantation, and new testing methods, such as HLA testing and transplant diagnostics, are being explored to boost transplant success rates and ensure more patients get the lifesaving transplants they need.

As President of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s transplant diagnostics division, Tina Liedtky is at the cutting edge of meeting this challenge.

She’s also passionate about addressing health equity issues, such as ingrained biases regarding gender and race, to help bridge the transplantation gap.

Tina joined Meg for a fascinating discussion about the future of transplantation, closing 'the gap', and Thermo Fisher's recent award.
