The programme team page lists Dennis Lyu as Medical Director and Rishindra Reddy as Surgical Director.

Order and numbers: a bibliometric ordering of CLAD publications, not a judgement of clinical quality or patient outcomes. Centres are ordered by the total citations of CLAD-related papers published 2016-10-11 to 2026-10-10, counted in OpenAlex on 2026-10-10 (2,461 works; one fixed title and abstract query; a paper counts for every centre with an author at that centre). Institution identifiers have not been fully audited, citation counts lag for recent papers, and consensus statements can inflate totals. Rank is shown among the 25 centres on this site and among 30 institutions tested. Methodology.
