IMPACT by XSEDE
IMPACT April 2015
Enabling better organ exchange programsThanks to XSEDE, the number of donor/recipient pairs could expand, broadening the criteria for matches so more hard-to-match patients would be able to find donors. This work is also showing that a combined kidney and liver exchange could find more matches than separate exchanges. Read more |  |
