Transplant Biology
Transplant biology is a cornerstone of regenerative medicine, and a major strength of the Department. Weill Cornell housed the first kidney transplant program in New York, and has recently been approved by the state to develop a liver transplant program. Dr. Kapur led the Weill Cornell transplant team that performed the nation's first three-way living-donor kidney transplant surgery chain that may revolutionize the organ transplant process in the United States and dramatically improve the opportunity for patients in need of kidney transplants to find a compatible donor. Our faculty are also engaged in basic science efforts to identify early biomarkers for transplant rejection and to understand the immune system biology that controls tolerance versus rejection.
