MANSFIELD, Mass., Transplant Genomics, Inc. (“TGI”), a molecular diagnostics company committed to improving organ transplant outcomes with non-invasive serial monitoring guided by genomics, today announced that Dr. John Holman has joined the Company as VP Medical Affairs.

Dr. Holman is a transplant surgeon by training who received his MD from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

“We are extremely grateful to have Dr. Holman join TGI at this critical time in our growth, concurrent with our TruGraf^®, blood test receiving CMS coverage as the first non-invasive test developed, validated and reimbursed for use in ruling out silent subclinical rejection in kidney transplant recipients with stable renal function. With a variety of new biomarkers coming to market recently it is important to have people in leadership roles who are well known and trusted in the transplant community so they can help physicians understand the proper intended use for these exciting tools.” said Dr. Stan Rose, President of TGI.

Dr. Holman succeeds our good friend Dr. Roy First, another widely respected member of the transplant community, and past President of the American Society of Transplantation. Dr. First will continue working with TGI as Senior Clinical Advisor, leading various collaborative studies currently underway, assisting Dr. Holman in the design of new studies, and continuing to provide public presentations and write papers related to the use of TGI’s non-invasive tests aimed at improving care of organ transplant recipients.
