Islet Transplantation Center

ā€‹


There is a collaborative and interdisciplinary team of gastroenterologist, interventional radiologist, surgeons, endocrinologist, and pain management specialist that have created a specialized islet transplantation center at Lucile Packard Childrenā€™s Hospital. Our physicians are leading the way in islet transplantation innovation at Packard Childrenā€™s Hospital through the IRIS (Interventional Radiology Innovation at Stanford) program, which investigates regenerating and supporting transplanted pancreatic islets with stem cell-based therapies and creating novel bioscaffolds for transplanted pancreatic islets; and the Sellers Laboratory and Clinical Research Group, which investigates new therapeutics for pancreatitis.
