Fadi Lakkis is a kidney match-maker (he's a physician scientist)
Fadi Lakkis grew up in Lebanon during a time of political unrest, which led him to perpetually question the world around him. Once he became a nephrologist with a speciality in immunology and transplantation, this questioning pushed him to do better science, as well as approach research from unexpected angles.
Now, Fadi Lakkis, MD, is a professor at Stanford University, and he's working to help better match donor's kidneys with the people who need them, as well as determine which immunosuppressive drugs work best in which patients. His new paper in Science Translational Medicine elaborates on this work.
