In 1997, he was recruited to Atlanta where he restarted a dormant pediatric liver transplant program at Emory University/Children’s Hospital of Atlanta, and performed hepatobiliary and adult cadaveric and living donor …liver transplantation. In 1998, he was also named director of adult liver transplantation.

He has published over 100 peer reviewed articles, 150 guest lectures in the U.S. and abroad, 16 book chapters, as well as primary investigator in numerous funded grants. His professional interests include general surgery with special expertise in complex surgery of the liver (including liver resection and metastatic disease), biliary tract, pancreas, portal hypertension and liver transplantation in adults and children.
