Abstract
Purpose: Canadian researchers have made significant contributions to the advancement of organ transplantation globally. The COVID-19 pandemic made transparent the importance of reflecting on our accomplishments and the current and future challenges that limit the lives of our patients and to celebrate individual and collective achievement.
Sources of information/methods: On October 6, 2025, thought leaders in the field of organ transplantation assembled in Vancouver to recognize the contributions of Paul Keown, a clinician scientist and translational researcher, whose work has directly impacted thousands of transplant recipients worldwide.
Key findings: This article summarizes the invited speaker presentations and represents a unique opportunity to celebrate the past and to focus on current challenges and future opportunities to advance the field of organ transplantation.
