Biography

Dr. Parker’s research focuses on deceased donor organ allocation for transplantation. His current work includes determining the impact of allocation rules and geographic competition on patient outcomes and the treatment practices of transplant centers. Dr. Parker’s overall goal is to apply advanced data science methods such as deep learning and simulation modeling to organ allocation, designing systems that efficiently and fairly allocate these scarce health care resources to the patients most in need.

Calculating Additional Risk of Concomitant Laparoscopic Surgery in Living Kidney Donors: Cholecystectomy in Combination with Living Donor Nephrectomy

Background: During the evaluation of a donor candidate for living kidney donation, occasionally a concomitant benign abdominal disease is diagnosed. Combining organ donation and surgical treatment of that disease could be beneficial to the donor. This paper quantified the additional risk to the donor if the two operations were combined.
