About the Penn Transplant Institute
The dream of curing illness and injury through transplant is probably as old as the history of healing, but the scientific knowledge that has made modern organ transplant possible developed primarily during the past 50 years. While the first successful kidney transplant — between identical twins — was performed in the 1950s, it wasn't until the introduction of anti-rejection drugs in the late 1970s that organ transplant became an accepted and successful treatment.
