About
Dr. Jeffrey J. Gaynor is a distinguished biostatistician and transplant outcomes researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the analysis of kidney and pancreas transplantation. His major contributions lie in developing rigorous statistical methodologies for evaluating long-term graft survival, particularly in simultaneous kidney-pancreas (SPK) transplant recipients. Dr. Gaynor pioneered the use of time-dependent covariates and competing risks models to disentangle the complex interplay between immunologic and non-immunologic factors affecting transplant outcomes. His landmark studies, cited over 1,200 times collectively, have provided critical insights into the impact of delayed graft function, acute rejection episodes, and immunosuppressive regimens on patient and graft survival. Notably, his 2008 paper in the *American Journal of Transplantation* on the "Five-year outcomes in simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant recipients" remains a seminal reference in the field. Dr. Gaynor's work has been instrumental in establishing evidence-based protocols that have improved transplant success rates worldwide. His recent investigation into robotic-assisted SPK transplantation (2025) continues his legacy of advancing surgical and statistical precision in transplant medicine.
