Currently Involved In:

The primary area of research is clinical transplantation. The clinical material comes to our laboratory from all transplant programs, which include kidney, pancreas, liver, heart, lung, and stem cell. A major emphasis is placed in the use of flow cytometry to detect and quantify alloantibodies in transplant recipients before and after transplantation. Although the studies are ongoing, multiple published contributions have been made in kidney transplantation and, more recently, in liver and lung transplantation. Technical developments are pursued in molecular typing and detection of stem cell engraftment. Our laboratory also participates in a multidisciplinary project to bank umbilical cord blood for the purpose of stem cell transplantation.
