UCSF Receives Grant to Improve Outcomes in Organ Donor Transplantation
UCSF News - Oct 20, 2011Claus Niemann, MD, Associate Professor in the UCSF Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care and co-Director of the Ischemic Organ Injury Lab (pictured left), has been awarded a $2 million grant by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to improve outcomes in organ donor transplantation. The grant award also included collaborators John Feiner, MD, Ryutaro Hirose, MD, and John Roberts, MD, chief of the UCSF Division of Transplant Surgery, the California Transplant Donor Network and Darren Malinoski, MD, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The innovative project is designed to determine the optimal management of organ donors before the procurement operation occurs. Research in this area has been hindered by numerous obstacles including the logistical challenges of conducting research in large hospitals in California and northern Nevada.
