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.
