CBES Area of Interest:

Research is in the area of improving organ preservation for transplantation. Currently, the number of patients waiting for transplants is exponentially increasing while the number of transplants remains stagnant. Our goal is to improve the technology of hypothermic machine perfusion for preservation of donor livers. There are many aspects to this goal including the preservation of healthy and marginal donor livers. Our group focuses on three main topics, improving the preservation of healthy livers, recovery of non-heart-beating donor livers, and improving the preservation of fatty livers.
