         (Dr. Joseph Spinner)Jul 1, 2022 - Jun 30, 2024
    Enduring Hearts
    Non-HLA Antibodies in Pediatric Heart Transplantation
    Role Description: Investigation of the presence and role of non-HLA antibodies in pediatric heart transplantation rejection and coronary allograft vasculopathy
    Role: Principal Investigator
    AHA 824138     (Dr. James Martin)Jul 1, 2021 - Jun 30, 2024
    American Heart Association and Enduring Hearts
    Early Detection of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in Post-Transplant Hearts via Single-Cell Genomics
    Role Description: Goal is to identify coronary allograft vasculopathy at early stages using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to study heart tissue obtained from children with heart disease which may allow for early detection and subsequent treatment.
    Role: Co-Investigator
         (Dr. David Rosenthal)Jan 1, 2021 - Dec 31, 2023
    Enduring Hearts and Additional Ventures
    Can HLA data be used to support Precision Medicine in Pediatric Heart Transplantation? An exploratory analysis
    Role Description: Goal is to analyze the impact of HLA donor/recipient matching and pre-transplant HLA antibodies on survival and adverse events. Goal is also to develop a decision support tool for predicting the results of a virtual crossmatch at the time of a donor offer.
         (Dr. Joseph Spinner)Jul 19, 2019 - Dec 31, 2020
    Texas Children’s Hospital Heart Center Innovation Award
    Novel Noninvasive Detection of Cardiac Allograft Rejection after Pediatric Heart Transplantation
    Role Description: Goal is detect the presence of allogeneic chimerism in the serum and plasma of patients after heart transplant to detect or predict cardiac allograft rejection.
    Role: Principal Investigator
    W81XWH-18-1-0557     (Dr. Joseph Spinner)Sep 1, 2018 - Feb 28, 2022
    Department of Defense
    Composition, Function, and Role of the Intestinal Microbiome in Pediatric Heart Failure and Heart Transplantation
    Role Description: The primary objective is to characterize and determine the role of the intestinal microbiome in children who have undergone heart transplantation. We hypothesize that dysbiosis increases the risk of post-transplant complications
    Role: Principal Investigator

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
