Research in the Nelson laboratory focuses on the immune system's response to organ transplants and blood transfusions. Dr. Nelson's lab partners with clinician scientists in identifying biomarkers (substances that can be detected in the blood) that can be used to measure the patient's risk of having a reaction. The lab translates results obtained from research into tests that can be used in clinical management.
