Our Mission

As part of the Cardiothoracic Transplantation Group headed by Dr. James K. Kirklin, our ultimate goal is to improve the effectiveness of cardiac transplantation as a treatment for end-stage heart failure.  Our main areas of investigation are the molecular mechanisms of bone marrow induced tolerance and allograft rejection.
