Living Kidney Donation and Transplant Immunosuppression
Didier Mandelbrot, MD, is the Virginia Lee Cook Professor in Transplant Nephrology and the medical director of kidney and pancreas transplantation at UW Health.
He is a clinician whose main research interests are living kidney donation and transplant immunosuppression.
Increasing Living Kidney Donation and Managing Transplant Complications
Living kidney donation is the best treatment for end-stage kidney disease. Dr. Mandelbrot’s research focuses on improving the evaluation of living kidney donors to maximize donor safety and on increasing living donation through novel programs such as kidney paired donation.
He also studies a number of aspects related to optimizing transplant immunosuppression, including the diagnosis and management of antibody-mediated rejection and the management of infectious complications of immunosuppression.
Funding Support
Dr. Mandelbrot's work is supported by unrestricted research funding from the Virginia Lee Cook Foundation.
