What if we could . . .
Double or even triple the number of transplantable organs?
Science fiction, right? No, this is real.
Doctors at the University of Alberta Hospital have developed a system that’s transforming the way donor organs are “kept alive” outside the body, giving surgical teams time to fix damaged organs, and make them suitable for transplantation.
Predict the outcomes of transplants before surgery?
Impossible? Not with today’s technology – and the combined expertise and resources of our clinical and research teams.
By virtually cross-matching organ donors with potential recipients, doctors can more accurately predict outcomes – even for the most hard-to-match patients. Next up? Tailoring immunosuppression therapies so each patient gets exactly the support they need to live a healthy, productive life after their transplant.
