Message from the President

ART was founded on the belief that innovation in transplantation must always be matched by responsibility, collaboration, and a commitment to patient safety. By bringing together surgeons, physicians, trainees, advanced practitioners, researchers, and partners from around the world, we can define best practices, expand meaningful education, and build the evidence needed to move robotic transplantation forward. Our shared purpose is simple: to help thoughtful innovation become safer, more accessible, and more reproducible for the patients and donors we serve.
