We are constantly refining transplantation techniques to include work in peripheral blood stem cell transplants, better techniques for T-depletion of bone marrow, immunologic therapy after transplantation and immune reconstitution after peripheral stem cell transplantation. Our multidisciplinary team includes adult and pediatric physicians, case managers, registered nurses, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, child-life specialists and more. We have now performed more than 500 related and unrelated allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplants at our center. Ongoing advances in research have consistently focused on improving immunosuppression, hepatocyte transplantation, immortalizing liver cells and improving treatment for hepatitis. These efforts include active research in hepatocyte transplantation, immortalized liver cells, extracorporeal hepatic support and hepatitis treatment and prevention.
Auxiliary treatments are available as a bridge to transplantation.
This highly specialized procedure for children and adults is performed by the same multidisciplinary team that achieved success in the liver transplant arena. Consistently favorable outcomes and survival rates have made this program one of the busiest and most successful in the world. Today, we are one of few facilities with expertise in this unique technique. Innovation, solid outcomes and high patient survival rates have distinguished this program as a world leader in intestinal transplantation. The kidney transplant program s success is largely due to our dedicated, internationally renowned multidisciplinary team of medical professionals.
