(Nasdaq: CDNA), a leader in molecular diagnostics focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value diagnostic solutions for transplant patients and caregivers, maintains a leading presence at the Cutting Edge of Transplantation (CEOT) Meeting March 5-7, 2020 in Phoenix, Arizona.

CareDx is prominently featured in a lunch symposium on Friday, March 6, 2020 at CEOT.

Arjang Djamali, MD, University of Wisconsin, Gaurav Gupta, MD, VCU, and Mark Lerman, MD, Medical City Dallas will be sharing case studies from their clinical experiences with AlloSure.

“The KIRA study is a major leap forward in AlloSure utility. I am glad CareDx is working hard to advance the transplant patient's care,” said Robert Montgomery, MD, DPhil, of NYU Langone. “I can speak from experience on the value of offering surveillance solutions to patients who would benefit from having their immunosuppressive therapy changed or minimized and their invasive procedures reduced.”

“Immuno-optimization is near to my heart, and this has always been our goal to bring personalized care to transplantation. We are glad to partner with the transplant community as we launch the KIRA study at CEOT,” said Peter Maag, CEO of CareDx.
