The research performed at The Rotterdam Transplantation laboratory is both translational and fundamental in nature and can be dissected into three research lines; Transplant Immunology, Molecular Markers, and Tissue Repair & Cell Therapy. Furthermore, we are involved in Diagnostics in the setting of solid organ transplantation.
Examples of our equipment and operational techniques are multi-parameter flow cytometry/flow cytometry based cell sorting, imaging flow cytometry, Elispot, mixed lymphocyte reactions, cytotoxicity assays, kidney organoid disease models, GWAS, RT-qPCR, epigenetics (methylation and cfDNA), histology and immunohistochemistry. Also we have an operational human kidney organoid implantation model and we run organ-on-chip models.
Please take a look at the different topics for a brief description of our activities and contact information.
