Research Interests

Dr. Haririan’s clinical research interest is focused on antibody-mediated graft injury in kidney transplantation, BK nephropathy, non-traditional risk factors for poor transplant outcomes, pancreas allograft rejection and optimization of immunosuppression to improve long-term outcomes.

He has been the principal investigator for several investigator-initiated cohort studies and clinical trials. He has mentored a large number of residents, fellows, and junior faculty with interest in renal and transplant medicine. He has multiple ongoing studies examining the histological, serological, and clinical markers of antibody-mediated rejection and clinical management of patients with this complication.

Currently, Dr. Haririan is conducting a single-center clinical trial studying the use of Acthar for treatment of transplant glomerulopathy.
