Biography
Dr. Tan’s clinical work and research focuses on frailty and access to kidney transplants. She led the creation and use of the Transplant and Readiness Assessment Clinic at Stanford Health Care. Through this clinic, Dr. Tan provides transplant opportunities for aging patients or those with complex medical conditions that may otherwise encounter barriers to transplant. This work led to dramatic increases in transplant volumes while maintaining excellent clinical outcomes.
Dr. Tan has published research in numerous academic journals. Her studies in living donor physiology have led to better education and improved counseling in donor selection and follow-up, while her investigation of aging kidneys has led to wider and more judicious use of older donor organs for transplantation. She is the associate editor of the American Journal of Transplantation and kidney transplant section editor for UpToDate®, a leading online clinical decision support tool.
Dr. Tan received her bachelor and master of science degrees in biomedical engineering from Johns Hopkins University. She received her medical and doctor of philosophy degrees from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester, New York. She then completed her residency and fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
She is a fellow of the American Society of Transplantation and served on committees and advisory boards including the American Society of Transplantation and American Society of Nephrology.
