Episode 3: Pediatric Kidney Transplantation, Part 1

Dr. Chavers and Dr. Kizilbash are the guest experts this month from the University of Minnesota, here to discuss pediatric kidney transplantation.

 

I am proud to report that UMN has performed over 1000 transplants in children, and the first and the most infant kidney transplants in the world!

 

Dr. Chavers is a professor of pediatrics and has a strong clinical research background, formerly the clinical research chair at the University of Minnesota and serves on the board of the NIH CKiD study and as a PI on a CDC NHANES study. She has published countless research papers regarding transplants and cardiovascular health in pediatric CKD patients.

 

Dr. Kizilbash is an assistant professor of pediatrics, fellowship director and current medical director of the kidney transplant team at the University of Minnesota. She is a prolific clinical researcher in transplant outcomes and has won numerous awards for her research and teaching skills.
