Gerald and Patricia Austen Chair in Cardiac Surgery.\u00a0I am also a Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, and visiting surgeon at MGH, where I participate clinically in thoracic transplantation and cardiac surgical intensive care.\u00a0I received my medical degree from the Columbia University, and trained at University of Michigan, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Papworth Hospital, Cambridgeshire, England, in affiliation with Cambridge University.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">My laboratory in the Center for Transplantation Sciences (CTS) at Massachusetts General Hospital explores clinically important questions in transplantation. Working primarily in a cynomolgus monkey heterotopic heart allograft model, we study the pathogenesis of chronic rejection, as well as investigate costimulation and chemokine pathway modulation as approaches to induce operational tolerance. Barriers to successful application of pig-to-human xenotransplantation are studied in lung, liver, heart, kidney and thymosternal composite tissue models, focusing on coagulation pathway regulation, costimulation pathway blockade and cell adhesion mechanisms. Extensive international collaborative interactions support these translational research projects.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">During the course of over 30 years working in a variety of allo and xeno models, I have mentored a wide variety of pre- and postdoctoral trainees. Our research fellows benefit from our diverse array of basic and translational research projects by undertaking individual projects designed around each trainee\u2019s scientific interests to meet their educational and career goals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h6 data-pm-slice=\"1 3 &#091;&#093;\"><strong>When did you become interested in xenotransplantation?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">I became interested in xenotransplantation during the early years of my surgical training. Having started Eric Rose\u2019s research lab as a senior medical student in 1982-3, I applied to come back for a research year starting in 1986, following my third year of general surgery training at the University of Michigan. By that time he and Keith Reetmsma had performed a series of heterotopic monkey to baboon heart transplants using \u2018triple immunosuppression\u2019, with results quite similar to those observed contemporaneously in monkey-to-monkey heart transplant models. I worked on \u2018immunomodulatory\u2019 treatments (anti-idiotypic antibody and T-cell elicitation; photochemotherapy) during that year back at Columbia, and wrote a program project grant application which was subsequently funded to support that effort. Meanwhile I had been offered an opportunity to do a second year of research at MGH in Boston, with Hugh Auchincloss, Henry Winn, and Paul Russell. Supported by an F32 research fellowship, I studied the cross-species T-cell response, showing its particular dependence on CD4 T-cells, work which made use of the first depleting monoclonal antibodies developed for use in mice. That work was published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine in 1989. After completing general surgery training at Michigan and Cardiothoracic training back at MGH, I spent 18 months working with David White, John Wallwork, and Sir Roy Calne, setting up ex vivo heart perfusion models to evaluate the first pigs to be genetically modified for potential use in humans, and studying the mechanisms of heart and lung xenograft rejection. These experiences laid the foundation for my lab\u2019s and the MGH Center for Transplantation Science\u2019s ongoing work in this field.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h6 data-pm-slice=\"1 3 &#091;&#093;\"><strong>How do you think this research will advance the field?<\/strong><\/h6>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">Clinical translation is going on as we speak, mainly in \u2018descedent\u2019 human recipients (brain dead subjects whose family consents to use of their body for research). Those experiments hope to reveal whether pig organs in patients are likely to provide life-supporting kidney, heart, or liver function for a clinically meaningful period of time after transplant. In addition, one pig-to-human heart transplant has been performed, demonstrating life-supporting graft function for over 6 weeks. Clinical trials are being planned for kidney and heart xenografts from with a variety of different genetic modifications.
