OverviewAI-generated summary

Sushma Bhusal's research interests include organ transplantation, particularly kidney and liver recipients, and the impact of infections like COVID-19 on these patient populations. Her work has investigated mortality rates in vaccinated versus unvaccinated transplant recipients and the SARS-CoV-2 infection experience in this group. Bhusal has also studied factors influencing kidney transplant outcomes, such as prolonged cold ischemia time and kidney utilization within the U.S. donor landscape. Additionally, her publications explore the anti-inflammatory properties of plant-derived compounds and strategies for immunization response during public health crises, such as the measles outbreak in Nepal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6 with 152 total citations across 16 publications. Bhusal collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Derek Krinock and Nasir Khan.
