Geoffrey J. Bond, MD is a Co-Director of the Intestinal Care and Rehabilitation Center at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. He is also an Assistant Professor in Transplant Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute
As both a pediatric surgeon and transplant surgeon, Dr. Bond is intimately involved in the expansion of Children’s Hospital’s pediatric intestinal failure unit. He also contributes to a multicenter study assessing the efficacy and utility of a new gut hormone to stimulate growth in TPN dependent short bowel syndrome patients. This may help patients come off TPN and avoid transplantation.
Dr. Bond’s research focuses on intestinal and multivisceral transplantation in adults and children to further develop the field and make it more widely applicable. This has involved constant modifications in patient management, surgical techniques, and in particular immunosuppressive strategies, including comparing previous protocols, irradiation of the intestinal allograft, and the latest tolerogenic strategy.
