Raymond John Lynch MD

Dr. Lynch received his MD along with a master's degree in immunobiology from Yale University School of Medicine in 2005. He completed his residency in general surgery at the University of Michigan as well as a two year research fellowship funded by the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. After completing his fellowship in abdominal transplantation at Emory, he joined the faculty of the University of Kansas Medical Center. In 2014, he was awarded the Vanguard Prize of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons for prior studies on accommodation following renal transplantation.

At Emory, Dr. Lynch specializes in adult and pediatric liver and kidney transplantation and hepatopancreatobiliary diseases and malignancies. His academic interests include resource utilization and outcomes analysis in transplantation, and he is dedicated to improving the distribution of grafts to patients with organ failure. He has studied novel clinical predictors of survival and resource utilization, and defined subgroups of patients with end-stage liver disease that experience excess mortality and reduced access to donor organs. He applies this knowledge to advocating for fairer organ distribution policies.
