Research
The pediatric heart failure/transplant program at Columbia University Medical Center is not only clinically busy, but involved in several multicenter trials and registries, as well as institutional studies in order to help advance the field. The center has been involved in the Pediatric Cardiomyopathy Registry since 1990 and was one of the founding centers of the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Group (PHTS), and has been an active member of the group since 1993. We are also involved in several trials as part of the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation in Children (CTOT-C) consortium evaluating such issues as anti-HLA sensitization, outcomes in heart transplant across a positive donor-specific crossmatch, quality of life and compliance post-transplant, as well as a multicenter study evaluating the detection of circulating donor-specific DNA as a predictor of rejection. Dr. Zuckerman is heavily involved in the CTOT-C clinical trials and also currently serves as the site principal investigator for the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of a novel anti-congestive therapy (Entresto) for pediatric heart failure patients.
Research Interests
- Antibody-mediated rejection following pediatric heart transplantation
- Donor- and recipient-related risk factors for outcomes after pediatric heart transplantation
- Novel drugs to treat pediatric heart failure
- Pre-transplant anti-HLA sensitization
