Current Research Projects
I work in a research laboratory at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the Department of
Surgery under the direction of a transplant surgeon, Dr.James Burdick as well as with
Dr.Gao, Dr.Watanabe, Dr.Han, Dr.Briggs and Dr.Samaniego from the Department of
Nephrology. The general interests of the lab are to individualize immunosuppression
by means other than biopsy and blood drug levels, investigate the roles of
corticosteroids, and determine the functions of cytokines in vivo.
