Professional Statement

Dr. Ronald H. Kerman received his PhD in Immunology from the University of Illinois followed by a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Transplantation Immunology at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Dr. Kerman is currently Professor of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine and Director of The BCM Immune Evaluation Laboratory in The Abdominal Transplant Center (2011-present). Dr. Kerman previously had been a Professor of Surgery and Director of The Histocompatibility and Immune Evaluation Laboratory at The University of Texas Medical School ( 1977-2011). Dr. Kerman is a Past President of The American Society of Transplantation and was a Member of the first UNOS Histocompatibility Committee. He has served as a Member of The Boards of Directors of The American Society of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics and The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. Dr. Kerman serves on several transplantation journal editorial and review boards. His investigative interests include histocompatibility testing and clinical correlation, delineation of the immune responder status and the identification of clinically relevant antibodies in transplantation. Dr. Ronald H. Kerman's bibliography currently includes 244 publications and 357 meeting abstract presentations. Dr. Kerman held positions at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, the Stritch School of Medicine in Loyola University in Chicago before coming to Baylor College of Medicine in 2011. Immunology has flourished since Dr. Kerman first became interested in the specialty in 1977. The comprehensive range of services and quality of performance offered by the transplantation service place it among the world's top transplant immunology facilities.
