Transplantation Technologies & Research

About this Journal

The field of transplantation is at a cross roads for sure. On one hand are the new and exciting discoveries that are helping promote longer and better graft function and patient survival. On the other hand are the challenges that health-care professionals and more importantly our patients, face. The lack of available organs and the ever increasing wait-times lead to a suboptimal quality of life for many, and for others, this discrepancy has robbed patients of their only chance for survival. The system of health care financing adds an additional layer of complexity and stress in the lives of all those involved in this area.
