    Apologies for cross-posting

    Dear all,

    Please join us for the first seminar of the Informs Auctions and Market Design (AMD) Online Seminar Series. Professor Alvin Roth (Nobel Laureate and Craig and Susan McCaw Professor of Economics at Stanford University) will talk about "Kidney Exchange: an Operations Perspective."  Please find the abstract and the registration link below. 

    Abstract: Many patients in need of a kidney transplant have a willing but incompatible (or poorly matched) living donor.  Kidney exchange programs arrange exchanges among such patient-donor pairs, in cycles and chains of exchange, so each patient receives a compatible kidney.  Kidney exchange has become a standard form of transplantation in the  United  States and a  few other countries,  in large part because of continued attention to the operational details that arose as obstacles were overcome and new obstacles became relevant.  We review some of the key operational issues in the design of successful kidney exchange programs.   Kidney exchange has yet to reach its full potential,  and the paper further describes some open questions that we hope will continue to attract attention from researchers interested in the operational aspects of dynamic exchange.

    Time: October 2nd, 1:00-2:00 pm EST
