Assoc ProfessorKaren Redmond

I am an internationally recognized academic thoracic and lung transplant surgeon, with nearly twenty years of consultant-level experience across Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Canada. My clinical practice encompasses advanced thoracic oncology, lung transplantation, airway, robotic and minimally invasive thoracic surgery, lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS), trauma and procedures addressing chest wall deformities. I am acknowledged as a clinical leader globally including in such areas as ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP), translational lung research, and health system innovation, contributing actively to the national transplant programme, the advancement of COPD services, and clinically referenced outcomes research on an international scale. My senior leadership roles span both national and international arenas, combining academic excellence with health system governance, guideline development, and society stewardship. My work has significantly influenced national service models, global surgical education, and the formation of evidence-based policy within thoracic surgery and respiratory medicine.
