Transplantation Biology
Transplantation Biology is the study of how organs, tissues, or cells are transferred from one body to another. This field focuses on understanding the immune response, which can lead to rejection of the transplanted material. Researchers aim to improve the success rates of transplants by exploring ways to minimize rejection and enhance compatibility between donor and recipient.
Key areas of research in Transplantation Biology include immunology, tissue engineering, and organ preservation. Advances in these areas can lead to better outcomes for patients receiving transplants, such as kidneys, livers, or hearts. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals in need of transplants.
