    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Adeel Rehman earned his medical degree from Shifa College of Medicine, Islamabad, Pakistan. He has always wanted to pursue a career in academic medicine as a surgeon-scientist. He then went on to complete his internship in medicine and surgery in Pakistan and pursued a post-doctoral research fellowship in cell biology, transplant immunology and surgery at New York University School of Medicine. His productivity in the lab was published in some of the elitest journals in basic science community including Journal of Clinical Investigation, Journal of Immunology and Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

    Dr. Rehman started his clinical training in the US as a general surgery intern at University of Texas at San Antonio and continued as a general surgery resident at the George Washington University in Washington DC. During this time Dr. Rehman was awarded resident research excellence award at American College of Surgeons and basic science award for best oral presentation at American College of Surgeons DC chapter at Washington DC. He was also a keynote speaker at Cancer Science and Therapy at San Antonio, TX. He furthered his training in cardiothoracic surgery at Aga Khan University Hospital and Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute of Heart Diseases which gave him a solid foundation and mental strength to succeed as an academic cardiothoracic surgeon at the highest level. He was senior lecturer at Shifa College of Medicine in cardiovascular basic sciences where his teaching and mentoring abilities were well appreciated by medical students and residents and earned him best faculty teaching award.

    He then worked at one of the leading pediatric heart Institutes, The Great Ormond Street Hospital, as a specialist registrar and as a lecturer at the University College London, UK. This position also solidified his interest in pediatric heart failure, adult congenital heart disease and cardiothoracic transplantation. He is a Member of American medical association, American College of Surgeons and Member of Royal College of Surgeons of England.

    At UCSF, he started working as faculty clinical instructor in department of surgery, division of cardiothoracic surgery to advance his skills in Adult and Pediatric Cardiothoracic surgery, Heart/Lung Transplantation and Mechanical Circulatory Support.

    Dr. Rehman’s basic science research on dendritic cells (DC) fatty acid metabolism and enhancement of their immune stimulatory potential has a significance in DC-related immune responses which are critical for both graft rejection and tolerance in transplantation.
