Dr. Laurie D. Snyder

It has been my privilege to care for lung transplant patients for over 20 years. I have found that helping patients and their loved ones along their transplant journey to be very rewarding. My job as the Medical Director of the Duke Lung Transplant Program is to help equip our team to work collectively to achieve the best outcome for our patients. Our mission is to serve patients and the transplant community with a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team approach to create a pathway to transplant, particularly for those facing barriers from medical co-morbidities. This requires a commitment to communicate and collaborate across all disciplines in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. We want to make the patient experience the best it can possibly be. We also recognize that in order to improve outcomes in lung transplants, there must be significant advances in the prevention and treatment of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Therefore, we support clinical research efforts to this end, participate in the most promising trials, and provide our patients the opportunity to enroll in them.

I feel very privileged to be involved in the care of patients that have undergone or may be considering lung transplantation. These are people whose own lungs have failed them even though they have pursued all the options, efforts, and therapies that are currently available with modern medicine. It is an honor to be part of the journey of someone who is literally fighting to the last breath and then witness their incredible second chance at life due to the immeasurable generosity of an organ donor. Duke is an amazing place to be part of. Their multidisciplinary team values every patient and treats them as an individual. While needing a lung transplant should never be on someone’s wish list, it is my goal to always be able to be there by their side and help them navigate the uncertainties, good or bad, of the future.
