J. Richard Thistlethwaite, Jr., M.D.
Treatment of Allograft Rejection
Research Summary
Dr. Thistlethwaite's PHD is in immunology, and he has more than 200
published research papers on transplantation, immunology and
anti-rejection medications. His research has focused on the T cell
receptor and co-receptors in an attempt to develop biological reagents
that can be used as drugs to prevent transplant rejection. He is
currently the principal investigator of a multi-center trial sponsored
by the Immune Tolerance Network and the National Institutes of Health
studying the mechanism by which immune tolerance develops following
clinical liver transplantation. He has received multiple other research
grants from the NIH in the past.
