NYU Langone infectious diseases experts provide comprehensive care for Transplant Institute patients throughout their transplant journey.

Services include the following:
Our infectious diseases team also leads NYU Langone’s participation in the HOPE in Action study, through which people who are HIV-positive and need liver or kidney transplants can safely receive organs from deceased donors who were also HIV-positive. The HOPE in Action study may help reduce the amount of time people who are HIV-positive wait for an organ transplant. NYU Langone Transplant Institute also offers a program for directed or anonymous HIV-positive living kidney donations.
Our infectious diseases team is led by Sapna Mehta, MD, who is the medical director and clinical director of the Transplant Institute; Henry J. Neumann, MD; Fainareti Zervou, MD; Virginie S. Halpern-Cohen, MD; and Matthew C. Ringer, MD. Our pediatric transplant infectious disease team is led by Rebecca Pellet Madan, MD, who is the medical director for the pediatric transplant program and Stephanie P. Ungar, MD.
The need for donated organs and tissue far outstrips the available supply. The NYU Langone Transplant Institute team is working to increase the number of available organs and tissue and save lives. If you live in New York State, register to become an organ and tissue donor.
