About

Lisa Blackwell manages research projects within the Abdominal Transplant Unit of Dell Seton Medical Center. Her work with the transplant team focuses on enhancing access to transplantation by mitigating health disparities, incentivizing more efficient use of organs and improving the transplantation health care system to ensure a fair-access process for all.

Before joining Dell Medical School, Blackwell launched a community health worker training program for the City of Austin. Blackwell is a Texas native and a University of Texas at Austin graduate. After college, she was one of two wellness coordinators for all U.S. Dell campuses, and she helped research and implement Dell’s tobacco-free campus policy as well as the availability and visibility for healthy choices at onsite cafeterias.

Her interest in building healthier environments led her to complete her Master of Public Health degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. She spent six years as a residency program coordinator and worked as an epidemiologist during the height of the pandemic response, providing infection mitigation assistance to employers, schools and long-term care facilities.
