The group is currently conducting a number of clinical trials, many of which are studies looking at new medications to help prevent rejection of the transplanted organ. There are also studies that do not involve medications. These studies may collect blood, urine or other specimens taken during routine tests or procedures. These samples will help doctors and researchers learn more about various diseases and\/or about our patient population in general.<\/p>\n<p><b>Our People<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-right\" title=\"Erin&amp;Patient w\/border\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/surgery\/transplant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/680\/2018\/05\/Erin-Carol-1_edited-3.jpg\" alt=\"Erin&amp;Patient w\/border\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The research team works along with the clinical care team (doctors, nurses, and coordinators) to manage study participation for an effective and worthwhile experience.
