End-stage organ diseases are responsible for millions of deaths worldwide each year. Organ transplantation has become the treatment of choice, but despite the 120,000 new organ transplantations performed each year, only 1 million persons worldwide have functioning solid-organ transplants1 because of the lack of improvement in long-term allograft survival over the past few decades and the limited organ supply.

HLA incompatibility between donors and recipients who are not genetically identical has been identified as the main barrier to successful transplantation, mostly because of antibody-mediated rejection, a form of allograft rejection triggered by the production of antibodies directed mainly toward donor (nonself) HLA molecules. ​

The Paris Transplant Group in Paris, France, is seeking a research assistant for our research program. This program conducts databases and other clinical researches in solid organ transplant patients.
