Funding

Over the course of my early days with Tony, he worked tirelessly to make sure I was set up for a future in the field. He reached out to Sir Peter Morris and Professor Kathryn Wood on my behalf to introduce the idea of pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy at Oxford University and sat with me for months editing, line by line, various grants so that I may secure funding for this opportunity. I would sit in his office as he would take calls from Drs. Joseph Murray and Thomas Starzl. He would finish his conversation, hang up the phone, and re-direct his undivided attention to an intern from Irmo, South Carolina interested in a career in transplantation. After 4 failed grant attempts, the 5th hit from the American Society of Transplantation and this transplant surgeon was born from the nurturing support of Dr. Anthony Monaco.
