Infectious Diseases Fellow PGY-6
Emory University School of Medicine
My name is Vivek Beechar, M.D., and I am currently a third-year Infectious Diseases Fellow at Emory University School of Medicine. My focus is on transplant infectious diseases, particularly viral illnesses that affect patients with solid organ transplants. I am nearing completion of a project examining the effects of low-level CMV DNAemia detection in renal transplant recipients. Upcoming projects include a study on the impact of belatacept on BK nephropathy in renal transplant recipients, and an exploration of CMV cell-mediated immune assays to refine anti-viral prophylaxis use in solid organ transplant recipients.
