2026 Aspen Ideas: Health Fellow Spotlight: Carrie DiMarzio

Ahead of her participation in Aspen Ideas: Health this week, our CEO and Co-Founder, Carrie DiMarzio, was interviewed by The Aspen Institute about how transplantation could be fundamentally reimagined to give clinicians more time and better information. The interview was featured in the Aspen Ideas: Health Fellows Spotlight, highlighting her work at BMI OrganBank and her perspective on the future of organ transplantation.

Carrie’s Perspective

In her Aspen Ideas: Health Fellow Spotlight, Carrie DiMarzio discusses a central challenge in transplantation: life-or-death decisions are often made with limited time and incomplete information.

Thousands of donated kidneys go unused each year, not simply because of organ availability, but because clinicians frequently must make acceptance decisions under significant uncertainty. Carrie discusses how expanding preservation time and providing continuous insight into organ health could give transplant teams more confidence, improve coordination, and increase access to transplantation.
