Congratulation Brenda Rosales for Winning the Women in Transplantation Sanofi Fellowship Award!
Project Title: The impact of sex and gender on equity of access to cancer care for kidney transplant recipients
“It is a huge honour and privilege to have been awarded the Sanofi Women in Transplantation Fellowship. I look forwarded to collaborating with so many leaders in transplantation to better understand how sex and gender impacts cancer care for kidney transplant recipients and generate real-world evidence on where we can provide more equitable health care.”
