Organ Transplantation

The Organ Transplantation topic includes research on organ transplantation and the post-transplant health of organ transplant recipients. (Research on transplantation of tissues, cells, and bone/bone marrow is not included.)

Organ transplantation spans several areas of study, including cardiovascular, endocrinology and metabolism, respiratory, and digestion. NIH has long had a robust organ transplantation program, utilizing genetic, technological, and translational research to advance the field and improve patient outcomes.
