Stephan Busque
Professor of Surgery (Abdominal Transplantation), and by courtesy, of Medicine (Nephrology)
On Partial Leave from 04/13/2026 To 06/26/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interest is focused on the improvement of clinical immunosuppression. I am involved in the evaluation of new immunosuppressive drugs, potentially more efficacious or less toxic. My ultimate goal is to achieve tolerance, a state that would obviate the need for any drugs. I am an investigator part of a multidisciplinary tolerance induction project using total lymphoid irradiation and donor hematopoietic stem cells infusion after living donor kidney transplantation.
