Transplantation Services at Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital are leaders in transplant surgery having performed kidney transplants since 1967 and liver transplants since 1986.
The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Transplant Institute (RPATI) was established in 2006 to promote and support transplant related research projects, fund the purchase of vital equipment and improve education that will help to save the lives of many adults and children.
Hat-trick of wins for RPA Transplant Institute
The highest honour recognising academic research excellence from the International Liver Transplantation Society, the Rising Star Award, was recently awarded to Dr Anita Niu from RPA’s Translational Centre for Organ Assessment, Repair, and Optimisation (COARO). This was the third year in a row that COARO researchers have won the prestigious award, something never previously achieved by any organisation.
Financial support from RPATI means researchers can conduct high quality scientific and clinical research into prolonged and improved health for all transplant patients.
Research is undertaken by scientists and transplant clinicians working at RPA Hospital, the University of Sydney and The Children's Hospital at Westmead.
This could not be possible without the generosity of our supporters.
