Center Scientific Priorities

 

 

Advancing Organ Preservation and Enhancement

Example: Multiple strong initiatives emerging in organ preservation and repair including bioengineering, surgical and translational science

 

 

 

Deep Tissue Phenotyping of the Transplant Allograft

Example: Collaboration with VUMC's Molecular AI Initiative to better classify injury related to organ rejection.

 

 

 

Improving Transplant Access and Outcomes for All People

Example: Innovations to support patients with substance misuse disorder.

 

 

Data Assets, Analytics and Augmented Intelligence in Transplant Science

Example: VCTS contributes to several multicenter consortia to bring high granularity data to difficult problems in transplantation, such as overcoming barriers to waitlisting.

 

 

Advancing the Science of Non-Invasive Immune Monitoring, Precision Immunosuppression and Mitigating the Toxicities of Immunosuppression Therapy 

Example: Ascertaining the precise risks of donor-derived EBV infection.
