Integrating healthcare and research to transform the lives of people with cancer and organ transplants.

We are pleased to announce that the CICT Bioregistry is now active and enrolled its first subjects today! The Bioregistry will collect and share patient-level data from transplant recipients or candidates, both with and without cancer, in order to facilitate research to improve the lives of cancer and transplant patients. Purposefully commencing with kidney transplant patients, we will ultimately invite all solid organ transplant patients to join. If you have had an organ transplant in the past or have been referred for a transplant at the University of Washington Medical Center and are interested in learning more about participating, contact us at cict@uw.edu.

Dr. Christopher Blosser was chosen as one of five finalists for the American Society of Transplantation Transplant Visionaries Challenge for the creation of CICT and its potential to improve the lives of patients with cancer before and after transplant. He will compete in the Challenge in April 2022. As part of the competition, CICT has the opportunity to produce a short video outlining how we will improve outcomes in the field of transplantation.

The CICT team convened a group of experts from the Seattle area to discuss and review the CICT vision, programmatic structure, and goals at the Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle. Attendees included transplant patients and members of the scientific community, with disciplines ranging from big data to medicine to ethics. Approximately half of the group attended by Zoom and half in person, and an engaged and dynamic discussion resulted.
