For people with organ failure, transplantation is the only option.

A lack of suitable organs for transplantation means patients die every day.

Researchers in the University’s Department of Surgery are using large animal models to understand why donated organs become damaged and unsuitable for transplantation, and to test promising new treatments.

Experiments with large animals, which accurately represent the human body, are vital in developing these treatments.

The research uses as few animals as possible, and aims to maximise the number of organs suitable for transplantation.
