He staffed more than 700 liver transplants and participated in the care of thousands of liver failure patients during his tenure at Rush, making him one of the most …experienced active liver transplant surgeons in the country. He joined Texas Transplant Institute in 2000 to establish the Liver Transplant Program. Dr. Foster is widely published on the topics of liver and small intestinal transplantation, immunosuppressant strategies and medications, and contributed to one of the first textbooks written on liver transplantation (Hepatic Transplantation, Saunders, 1990).
