4. Transplant Tracker
Gastroenterologist Colleen Kelly, MD F’06, assistant professor of medicine, received a $2.8 million grant for the Fecal Microbiome Trans-plant National Registry from the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. As a co-PI she will follow fecal transplant donors and recipients for up to 10 years to assess the short- and long-term term safety and effectiveness of the transplants, which have been highly successful in treating severe Clostridium difficile infections (see Brown Medicine, Spring 2014).
