Emory Transplant Center

The Emory Transplant Center brings together transplantation programs in heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas and islets. The Center's doctors and nurses are committed to improving care and access to those in need of organ transplantation through full-service patient care and support.

The Center is investigating innovative strategies to stop rejection of transplanted organs and free patients from the toxic side effects of daily immunosuppressant medicines.
