Pediatric Transplant Center

Welcome to the Pediatric Transplant Center at Children's Hospital Boston.

Transplantation at Children's Hospital Boston is an interdisciplinary effort between medical and surgical programs. Each transplant program is supported by a rigorous ambulatory service for pre and post-operative care, a full service laboratory and radiology services for diagnostic and monitoring studies of patients. Qualified medical and surgical faculty, residents and experienced nursing staff manage the day-to-day transplant patient care. Social work, child life, psychiatry, pharmacy, infectious disease, nutrition and other clinical support programs also serve as integral components of each transplant program.

Furthermore, Children's Hospital Boston is home to the world's largest and most active research facility at a pediatric hospital, with current initiatives attracting a record $120 million in funding. This includes more federal funding than any other pediatric facility. The Transplantation Research Center (TRC) provides a rich environment for collaboration of scientists and physicians from both institutions in the area of transplantation and immunology. The TRC is intended to speed the new knowledge and results gained from research into innovative and improved approaches to care of transplant patients.
