About
Dr. Kerim B. Kaylan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of regenerative medicine, transplantation surgery, and mechanobiology. His work is defined by two distinct but impactful streams: advancing surgical solutions for high-risk patient populations and decoding the biophysical cues that govern liver cell function. In a landmark 2020 study, Dr. Kaylan demonstrated the feasibility of simultaneous robotic kidney transplantation and bariatric surgery for morbidly obese patients with end-stage renal failure—a groundbreaking approach that has garnered 62 citations and reshaped clinical protocols for this challenging cohort. On the fundamental science side, his 2021 work on cell microarrays has been instrumental in elucidating how the liver’s extracellular matrix (ECM) protein composition and stiffness cooperatively regulate primary human hepatocyte phenotype. By employing high-content imaging with single-cell resolution, Dr. Kaylan revealed how 10 major liver ECM proteins influence hepatocyte attachment and function, providing a critical framework for designing biomimetic scaffolds in liver tissue engineering. His ability to bridge bench-to-bedside research—from matrix mechanics to robotic surgery—marks him as a versatile and impactful contributor to both surgical innovation and hepatic biology.
