Our Legacy

The Terasaki Institute was founded by the generosity of the late Dr. Paul I. Terasaki, a pioneer in organ transplant technology who aspired to improve patient health. Dr. Terasaki’s passion for patient health and welfare was evident in his work to conduct impactful medical research within the transplant field. 
 
As part of the Terasaki Institute’s growth plan, we are growing our research team, and increasing our footprint within the biomedical field to have far-reaching effects that will manifest itself in a variety of applications. With your support we will work to optimize patient care to help fulfill Dr. Terasaki’s vision and honor his legacy.
