I am a Transplant surgeon and researcher who has been at Mayo Clinic Rochester since 1998. I have performed more than 2000 kidney transplants.

My major clinical and research interests involve new therapies that improve the outcomes of transplant recipients. Specifically I am interested in overcoming antibody barriers to transplantation, management of obesity and diabetes in Transplant recipients and developing novel immunosuppressive including total withdrawal/tolerance protocols. My group is also interested in computer assisted assessment of Transplant biopsies.

I also am the Director of the Multicenter Transplant Alliance (mtaconsortium.com), a clinical research group aimed at facilitating novel, high-impact clinical trials in transplantation.
