Caroline Kopsidas is the Tissue Navigator for Gift From a Child at Children’s National Hospital.She graduated in 2021 with degrees in Biology and Neuroscience.
“Tissue donation is an incredibly personal decision for each family. What I find most inspiring is that it is often the children who are driven to donate and help other kids just like them. Tissue donation provides an invaluable resource and opportunity for researchers to create targeted treatments that reflect the uniqueness of each child. It is also an opportunity for families to see the lasting impacts of their son or daughter’s generous gift, long after their battle has ended.”
