From the UW Solution, which transformed organ preservation, to today’s clinical trials, our researchers have long advanced transplant care. Honored to be part of this important study and the stories it’s making possible.
Thanks to a cutting-edge clinical trial supported by federally funded research at #UWMadison, transplant patients like Shawn Wiederhoeft and Barb Okey are returning to healthy lives without the need for anti-rejection medications. https://t.co/lrBhAbiFHe
