The Scientific Research Team
The journey of groundbreaking research begins with the generosity of donors and their families that provide the invaluable gift of tissue donation. The SMaHT project is grateful to partner with several Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) that are essential for connecting donor families with this research opportunity. The OPOs involved in the SMaHT program are: ConnectLife, Gift of Life Donor Program, and LifeGift.
The opportunity to participate in the SMaHT initiative aligns with LifeGift’s mission of supporting medical advancement through the recovery of organs and tissues for clinical research...
Gift of Life Donor Program has championed medical research and scientific discovery since the founding of our program nearly 50 years ago. We evaluate every organ and tissue donor as a potential donor for research and are proud to continue our decades-long partnership with NDRI as part of the SMaHT Network.
The extraordinary donations serve as the foundation for the many diverse research groups within the SMaHT project, fueling innovations that advance medical science. The SMaHT research team includes over 200 members from across the United States.

For more than 25 years, ConnectLife has been committed to helping donors and their families leave a meaningful legacy through donation to research with NDRI. We are thrilled to be part of the Somatic Mosaicism Across Human Tissues project and have high hopes that we can continue to play a role in investigating new treatments and cures for an array of diseases
