Transplant Outcomes
Dr. Reese often focuses on outcomes for vulnerable populations with kidney disease and how they are affected by transplant policies. His work has generated important insights into 1) the strong relationship of advanced kidney disease to frailty and worsening physical performance and 2) how functional status affects kidney transplant outcomes. His epidemiology and conceptual studies have also included studying the processes of evaluating older individuals for kidney transplantation. He has also examined ways that equity and utility may both be considered when allocating organs across the lifespan.
