Major Research Theme
The focus of my research is to identify factors associated with disease progression in patients with liver disease, cirrhosis, liver failure and recurrent disease after liver transplantation.  In addition, I have investigator intiated clinical trials to study the effectiveness of non-invasive assessments of liver fibrosis in liver transplant recipients, renal transplant candidates with HCV infection; a study to look at high dose prograf for treatment of allograft rejection; a study to assess the usefullness of liver volume in predicting outcome of patients with cirrhosis; and  a study to look at the effectiveness of rapamycin in preserving renal function in liver transplant recipients.
Industry sponsored studies include the following:
STAT C drugs for HCV infection
Novel CMV prophylaxis strategies
