Transforming lives through liver transplant research

Our liver transplant team also includes active researchers. We’re conducting a range of innovative clinical trials focused on improving liver transplant outcomes, including studies on new immunosuppressive therapies and organ preservation techniques.

Our trials for liver transplant aim to enhance patient recovery, reduce transplant rejection rates, and expand the pool of eligible donor organs. Participation in research can give you access to new treatments and techniques before they’re widely available.

Advanced dual-organ transplants

Dual organ transplants require advanced care. Most hospitals aren’t able to do these complex procedures, but it’s one of our specialties. Our team is one of just a few nationwide with the expertise to perform heart-lung and lung-liver transplants.
