Dr. Hadjiliadis is a member of the advanced lung disease team at the University of Pennsylvania. His main clinical interests include management of lung transplant recipients before and after lung transplantation, cystic fibrosis and respiratory problems in recipients of other organ transplants. His main research interests include chronic rejection after lung transplantation, gastroesophageal reflux disease in advanced lung disease and lung transplant patients, choice of transplant operation in patients with advanced lung disease, and predictions of outcome in patients with cystic fibrosis and lung transplantation.
