Spotlight On: Giselle Guerra, Executive Director, Miami Transplant Institute

Key points:
  • • Miami Transplant Institute is advancing transplant care through robotics, AI, and complex multi-organ procedures.
  • • Leaders are pushing to expand living donation by breaking myths around donor safety and recovery.
  • • MTI combines innovation with personalized, culturally aware care to improve patient outcomes.

As medical director of the living kidney donor program at the Miami Transplant Institute (MTI), a joint enterprise between UHealth—University of Miami Health System and Jackson Health System, Giselle Guerra leads a specialized program at one of the nation's most ambitious transplant centers, one that routinely takes on complex, multi-organ cases that other places decline. Guerra spoke with Invest: about MTI's focus on living donation, robotic surgery, artificial intelligence, and xenotransplantation. "There are significant myths and misconceptions about what it means to be a living donor. The reality is that you can live a full, healthy, productive life after donating," Guerra said.
