Liver transplantation is an exciting field of research in which evolution in surgical techniques and immunosuppression and preservation have dramatic effects on overall patient survival. Our research at Mount Sinai is focused on preventing recurrent disease, optimizing the use of new immunosuppressive agents, and improving graft function. It is our hope that our research will eventually make it possible for us to overcome the supply-demand disparity and permit us to ask "When should this patient be transplanted?" rather than the very difficult question, "Who should be transplanted?"
