Ms. Jaya Jairam represented MOHAN Foundation at the prestigious International Transplant Congress, hosted by the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), held in London from 29 June to 2 July 2025. The overarching theme of the congress was “Nurturing a Sustainable Transplantation Journey,” with a strong emphasis on innovation, equity, long-term graft survival, and environmentally responsible practices in transplantation.
Jaya delivered an oral presentation under the session “Technology in Organ Donation and Transplantation – From Enabler to Predictor”. She presented a novel AI-powered innovation developed in India that enables precise kidney donor-recipient matching and predicts long-term organ survival. This tool is designed to support clinical decision-making and improve transplant outcomes, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
In addition to the oral presentation, she contributed several posters that showcased MOHAN Foundation’s diverse and inclusive approach to strengthening the transplant ecosystem:
- Printed poster - 'Successful deployment of Drone-based transport systems for delivering organs'
- EPosters -
- o Enabling Transplants for the Non-affording using Crowdfunding,
- o Impact of Organ Donation Ambassador Training,
- o Empowering Transplant Professionals through an innovative ELearning training programme,
- o Equity through Public-Private Partnership in underserved Northeastern India
Highlights from ESOT 2025:
The congress brought together experts from across the globe and showcased cutting-edge advancements in transplantation science, clinical practice, and policy. Some of the key themes and sessions included:
- Personalised Transplant Medicine – Advances in genomics, biomarkers, and AI-driven predictive tools aimed at tailoring immunosuppression and improving graft longevity.
- Sustainable Transplantation – Conversations around reducing the environmental footprint of transplantation, with practical solutions for greening hospital operations and organ transport logistics.
- Equity and Access – Sessions focused on addressing disparities in access to transplantation, especially for migrants, ethnic minorities, and low-income populations in both high- and low-resource settings.
- Xenotransplantation and Regenerative Medicine – Updates on breakthroughs in organ bioengineering, including 3D-printed tissues and xenograft models that may address future organ shortages.
