Dr. Maryam Valapour, director of Lung Transplant Outcomes Research at Cleveland Clinic, discusses the intersection of transplant science and health policy and the role of the physician-scientist. She also covers the need to build better lung allocation models, the concept of minimizing the impact of geography in organ distribution, looking into who doesn't get access to transplant that should and increasing the organ donor pool.
