About the Center for Transplantation Science
Mission
The UCSD Center for Transplantation Science bridges basic science research in immunology, cell biology, regenerative medicine, microbiology, and pharmacology with the outstanding and rapidly growing clinical transplantation programs at UCSD and Rady Children's Hospital. The UCSD CTS facilitates discovery-based and clinically-applied research through technical laboratory support, clinical study management, and education.

The UC San Diego Center for Research, Education, Innovation and Transformation in Organ Donation
The REIMAGINE Center advances scientific discovery, innovation, and education to transform organ donation and transplantation. The goal of the center is to create a more equitable and effective transplant system that eliminates organ waste and reduces patient wait times.
Lifesharing
Lifesharing is the federally-designated organ procurement organization (OPO) serving San Diego and Imperial counties in Southern California. When a patient’s life cannot be saved, it’s our job to try and save their organs. We then match those donated organs to patients on the transplant waiting list. We also coordinate tissue donation at the end of life.
