Transplant Institute

Since completing our first procedure in 1968, UAB has been on the forefront of advancing the field of organ transplantation. 

Fifty years later, our Comprehensive Transplant Institute continues pushing the envelope in the areas of treatment, research, training and protocol development, as well as organ availability, preservation and utilization.
