Transplant Clinical Research Core
The primary mission of the Transplant Clinical Research Core (TCRC) is to be a multidisciplinary intellectual focus for all transplant researchers at CUIMC by bringing the Basic Science, Translational Science, Clinical Research and multidisciplinary clinical departments together.
The TCRC collaborates closely with the clinical care components of the transplant community at CUIMC and New York Presbyterian Hospital in a mutually supportive relationship that allows both clinical and research aspects of the transplant enterprise to reach their full potential. This creates a positive momentum, making it easier to recruit high quality scientists and clinicians to our transplant program and maintaining CUIMC’s status as one of the premier centers for transplant care and transplant related research in the US.
