Thomas E. Starzl is a pioneer in transplant surgery. He performed the first successful liver transplant in 1963.
Starzl earned his M.D. from Northwestern University Medical School in 1952. Throughout his career, he has contributed to research to improve the long-term health of transplant recipients including the use of prednisone as a supplement to cyclosporine to prevent organ rejection.
