Lucy Sullivan (Co-Chair, TTS 2026 SPC)
What makes TTS 2026 a truly global and inclusive Congress?
In this interview, Dr. Lucy Sullivan, Scientific Program Committee Co-Chair, shares the vision behind the TTS 2026 International Congress in Sydney — and how the program is designed to bring together diverse voices from across the global transplant community.
Dr. Sullivan highlights the careful balance between clinical and basic science, as well as a strong commitment to equity, representation, and inclusion across gender, regions, and career stages. She also discusses the expanded number of oral presentation opportunities, giving more early- and mid-career investigators a chance to showcase their work.
The conversation also explores the importance of abstract-related awards, particularly in supporting trainees and professionals from emerging economies, and why fostering global collaboration is central to advancing the field.
Beyond the science, Dr. Sullivan reflects on the unique opportunity to gather in Sydney, Australia, and what participants can expect from both the Congress and the city itself.
This interview is part of our featured speaker series leading up to The Transplantation Society (TTS) 2026 International Congress.
