Research Interests
Our group studies several aspects of the safety and efficacy of solid organ transplantation in people with HIV. With the advent of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), people are no longer dying from progression of HIV to AIDS, but rather as result of the co-morbidities associated with HIV infection. We are leading an NIH-sponsored national multicenter trial which examining the impact of HIV on graft survival, the impact of immunosuppression of the immune response against HIV and co-pathogens (HBV, HCV, HPV, CMV, EBV), and the pharmacokinetic interactions of immunosuppressive agents and HAART therapy. These studies will have a direct impact on the management of a rapidly increasing number of HIV-infected patients with end stage liver disease secondary to hepatitis B and C co-infection.
