The Gift of Life
Each spring, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s outdoor plaza transforms into a garden of scarlet and gray pinwheels. This marks the celebration of renewed life through organ transplant, further illustrating our dedication to shortening the national list of 103,000 people who need lifesaving transplants.
From Donor to Recipient
Ohio State’s Comprehensive Transplant Center is making the most of a limited and precious human resource: donor organs. The COPPER Laboratory’s specialists ensure organs’ viability for transplant using ex-vivo organ perfusion, a game-changing technology that respirates and nourishes organs outside the body.
Improving Outcomes Through Research
To help recipients thrive post-surgery, researchers at the Bumgardner Laboratory study the causes of cell and organ transplant rejection. Their discoveries, such as a novel cell therapy to avoid kidney transplant failure, can predict and prevent complications.How you can help
