Dr Thakor is adult and pediatric-certified Interventional Radiologist, and Physician-Scientist, who practices at Stanford University. He runs and directs a translational laboratory at Stanford University called Interventional Radiology Innovation at Stanford (IRIS). His vision is to develop the area of "Precision Delivery" in which targeted delivery approaches are used to locally deliver drug, gene, cell and cell-free therapies directly to organs using image-guided endovascular (i.e. within blood vessels), percutaneous (i.e. through the skin), endoluminal (i.e. within the bowel, respiratory or urinary system), and even using device implantation (i.e. bioscaffolds) approaches.

The Liver Transplant Program at the Boswell Building in Palo Alto, California, is part of Stanford Health Care's Multi-Organ Transplant Program, having commenced operations in 1991. With a track record of over 1,400 liver transplants, the program consistently surpasses national patient and liver survival rates at one and three years post-transplantation. The dedicated team includes advanced practice providers and nurse practitioners who collaborate to evaluate patients, manage pre- and post-transplant care, and ensure comprehensive support throughout the transplant process. The program also emphasizes regular communication with referring physicians to facilitate ongoing patient management and care. Generated from the website
