I am honored and excited to begin my term as ASTS President. I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to James Markmann, MD, PhD, for his outstanding leadership over the past year. His dedication and vision have positioned our Society for continued success, and I look forward to building on this strong foundation as we advance ASTS’s mission and strategic priorities together.
