Registration is now open for ANNA Chapter #122 Conference.  

Our Keynote speaker is Dr. Robert Montgomery, Transplant Surgeon, NYU.

Robert A. Montgomery, MD, DPhil, FACS, is the Director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute and a Professor of Surgery. Dr. Montgomery was part of the team that developed the laparoscopic procedure for live kidney donation, a procedure that has become the standard throughout the world. He and his previous Hopkins team conceived the idea of the Domino Paired Donation (kidney swaps).  He led the team that performed the first 2-way domino paired donation, 3-way paired donation, 3-way domino paired donation, 4-way paired donation, 4-way domino paired donation, 5-way domino paired donation, 6-way domino paired donation, 8-way multi-institutional domino paired donation, and co-led the first 10-way open chain. He is credited in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records with the most kidney transplants performed in 1 day. He is considered a world expert on kidney transplantation for highly sensitized and ABO incompatible patients and is referred the most complex patients from around the globe.  He has performed NYU's second successful investigational xenotransplantation procedure using a genetically engineered pig kidney.
