OverviewAI-generated summary

Sushma Bhusal's research primarily focuses on organ transplantation, with a particular emphasis on kidney transplantation and the impact of infectious diseases on transplant recipients. Her work has investigated outcomes related to prolonged cold ischemia time in kidney transplants and the utilization of kidneys within the context of a changing donor landscape in the United States. Bhusal has also studied the effects of COVID-19 on vaccinated and unvaccinated liver and kidney transplant recipients, employing propensity score matching to analyze mortality rates and SARS-CoV-2 infection experiences.

Her research extends to exploring novel treatment paradigms, such as drug-coated balloon angioplasty in solid organ transplantation and the use of iptacopan for recurrent dense deposit disease post-kidney transplant. Bhusal has also explored the anti-inflammatory activity of medicinal plants and contributed to strategies for public health interventions, including Nepal's measles outbreak response during the COVID-19 pandemic. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Derek Krinock and Nasir Khan.
