OverviewAI-generated summary
Raj Patel's research focuses on organ transplantation, particularly kidney transplantation, and the impact of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, on recipients and donor organs. He investigates the presence of viral RNA in plasma following COVID-19 positive donor kidney transplants, examining the implications for transplant success and patient safety. His work includes analyzing Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test results to determine viral detectability in recipients after receiving organs from donors with COVID-19.
Patel is also involved in broader health sciences research, serving as a Co-Principal Investigator on a grant from the NIH/National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. This project, funded at $4,749,323, aims to address research and societal needs within minority health and health disparities. His collaborations include work with Lyle Burdine, Sushma Bhusal, and Martha Estrada at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Patel has a total of three publications and maintains an active laboratory website.
