Main research activities include the role of donor specific transfusion in tolerance induction in vascularized solid organ transplantation; donor cell trafficking following donor-specific transfusion and the role of the thymus in allograft tolerance; and the effect of intraportal vein donor-specific transfusion on small bowel and other vascularized allograft survival. Other interests include that of the role of T&B cells in Allo & Xeno rejection.Clinical research focuses on immunosuppression of Hepatitis B & C in liver, and kidney expanded criteria donors, and the immunosuppression of kidney transplantation.Renal transplantation, Liver transplantation, immunology, Hepatitis B & C, xenotransplantation
