Stephan Busque

Professor of Surgery (Abdominal Transplantation)
Clinical Focus
General Surgery, Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation, Liver Transplantation
Research Interests
My research interest is focused on the improvement of clinical immunosuppression. I am involved in the evaluation of new immunosuppressive drugs, potentially more efficacious or less toxic. My ultimate goal is to achieve tolerance, a state that would obviate the need for any drugs. I am an investigator part of a multidisciplinary tolerance induction project using total lymphoid irradiation and donor hematopoietic stem cells infusion after living donor kidney transplantation.

Joseph Levitt, MD, MS

Associate Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Clinical Focus
Pulmonary Critical Care, Critical Care Medicine
Research Interests
My research focuses on the physiolgogic and biomarker characteristics of early acute lung injury (ALI) prior to need for mechanical ventilation. While, to date no pharmacologic treatment has improved survival in ALI, following the paradigm of early goal directed therapy for severe sepsis, clinical benefit may derive from identifying patients and initiating treatment prior to the need for positive pressure ventilation (and therefore prior to meeting current study entry criteria).

Carlos Milla

Professor of Pediatrics (Pulmonary Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine)
Clinical Focus
Cystic Fibrosis, Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Pulmonary Hypertension, Rare Lung Diseases, Pediatric Lung and Heart-Lung Transplantation, Pediatric Pulmonology
Research Interests
At Stanford University I developed and currently direct the CF Translational Research Center. The overarching goal of the center is to provide the groundwork to streamline, accelerate, and promote the translation of basic discoveries into effective therapies and interventions to benefit patients affected by cystic fibrosis. My laboratory group currently has three main lines of investigation: respiratory cell biology in CF; remote biochemical monitoring; and lung physiology in young children.
