Stanford Medicine recently appointed Marc Melcher, MD, PhD, the new chief of the Division of Abdominal Transplantation. He oversees all aspects of abdominal transplant programs, including liver, kidney, and small bowel transplantation at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health.
Melcher follows Carlos O. Esquivel, MD, who was division chief for 26 years. Esquivel was an early advocate for offering liver transplants to sick children and will continue treating patients at Stanford Children’s.
“I am honored to continue the growth of the program to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care to those who are waiting for a lifesaving transplant,” says Melcher.
