A primary goal of the AST is to double long-term graft survival and optimize patient quality of life through transformative, multidisciplinary, basic, translational, and clinical research.
Since the first organ transplant in 1954, transplantation has come a long way, but the field still has a long road ahead.
AST Research Network
The AST Research Network is the AST’s mechanism for identifying, funding, and providing ongoing support to the most innovative research in transplantation and immunology.
It aims to help researchers develop a new generation of safer and more effective medications, develop new tests to help doctors optimize medication therapy for each individual patient, and eliminate the chance that the recipient's body will reject an organ.
The Research Network has funded hundreds of physicians and scientists who have dedicated their lives to advancing the research necessary to improve and save lives.
