About

Immunosuppressive therapy protocols in solid organ transplantation are rudimentary, differ by transplant center and no practical strategies are available to guide an individuals' response to immune suppression. In this study we will conduct research to assess immunologic status in solid organ transplant recipients, predicting immune reconstitution and outcomes after transplant to better guide the use of immunosuppressive medications.
