Liver Research The Liver Research Group operates a four-stranded research programme based on Liver Transplantation, Hepatic Malignancy, Hepatitis C Viral Infection and Basic Immunology of the Liver. Principal Investigators: Prof. Cliona O'Farrelly & Prof. John Hegarty Senior Scientists: Elizabeth Ryan Nigel Stevenson Margaret O'Brien Research AssistantS: Emma McGrath Catherine Keogh Research Fellows: Tariq Tajuddin, Kavin Nanda Postgraduate Students: Eszter Nèmeth Liver Transplantation The Liver Transplant team at St. Vincent’s hospital performs 50-60 transplants per year. A successful transplantation program depends on a steady supply of donor organs. Our research is focused on trying to find out ways of preventing damage to the donor organ due to a lack of oxygen.
