Did you know that we post regularly across a series of popular social media platforms? Give us a follow and join us as we share updates from the news, Washington D.C., and debunk bad science and misinformation on OPOs, and organ donation and transplantation.

Science in Donation and Transplant is a non-profit established in November 2020 devoted to improving OPOs performance and placing patient results above politics.

Our goal is to ensure that the metrics and measures used to credential, license, designate and certify donation and transplant organizations are grounded in science and protected from political whim and private financial influence.
