Liver research
The physician-researchers on our staff have pioneered influential new methods of studying pediatric liver disease and transplantation and receive substantial funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our significant investment in and commitment to clinical and laboratory research allows the Siragusa Transplantation Center to lead the way in improving the health of children with liver disease.
We know our ability to succeed in improving the lives of our patients is enhanced when we engage in collaborative research with other respected and well established centers and organizations. Sharing information and keeping apprised of what others are doing to advance the lives of pediatric patients across the country and world is a key to any successful scientific endeavor. Therefore, the Siragusa Transplantation Center's investment in liver research includes participation in national research studies and collaboration with other pediatric transplant centers.
