Dr. Al-Adra’s project is titled “Programmed Death Ligand-1 and Liver Transplantation: A Target for Tolerance Induction.”
Dr. Mezrich’s project is titled “Influence of Microbial Communities on Transplant Immunology,” and will be supported by Department co-investigators Dixon Kaufman, MD, PhD, Kevin Janek, MD, Robert Redfield, MD, and Kristi Schneider, RN, MSN, ANP.
