Hamid Shidban

Hamid Shidban serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Part-Time) at the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, specializing in the Department of Surgery with a focus on transplantation medicine. His academic career integrates clinical practice with research in kidney transplantation outcomes and immunosuppression strategies.

His professional training includes:

• Transplantation Surgery Fellowship at St. Vincent Medical Center (1994-1995)
• Nephrology Fellowship at Veterans Administration Medical Center (1992-1994)

Dr. Shidban's research investigates molecular mechanisms of transplant rejection, biomarker discovery for early detection of allograft dysfunction, and management of infectious complications in immunosuppressed patients. His work bridges genomic and proteomic profiling with clinical applications to improve long-term graft survival, particularly through innovative approaches to immunosuppression regimens and viral infection management.

Analysis of his 10 publications (1997-2016) reveals consistent focus on translational research in renal transplantation, with emphasis on molecular diagnostics, infection control in immunocompromised hosts, and metabolic complications. His studies frequently employ multi-center collaborations and have directly influenced clinical protocols for HCV screening, CMV management, and pediatric donor utilization.

Professional recognition includes:

• St. Vincent Medical Center Transplantation Surgery Fellowship
• Veterans Administration Medical Center Nephrology Fellowship

As a Clinical Assistant Professor, Dr. Shidban contributes to surgical education and mentorship within USC's transplant program, focusing on evidence-based approaches to complex transplant cases. His ongoing work continues to advance precision medicine applications in organ transplantation through molecular diagnostics and individualized immunosuppression strategies.
