Kishore
Iyer, MD,
trained in England for ten years doing adult, general
and pediatric surgery, the latter with Dr. Adrian Bianchi. He also has trained
in liver and intestinal transplantation in Chicago, IL, and Omaha, NE,
between 1996 and 1999.
He established and directed the
Intestinal Rehab Program in Omaha between 2000 and 2003. He established and
directed the Intestinal Rehab and Transplant Program at Children’s Memorial and
Northwestern University between 2003 and 2006. He now is establishing an
Intestinal Transplant Program at Mount Sinai in New York City. His special
interest is in non-transplant surgical management of intestinal failure and TPN-associated
liver disease. Dr. Iyer was among the first to identify plant sterols in lipid
emulsion as a possible cause for liver disease in TPN.
While he has written for the LifelineLetter, his
first personal introduction to Oley’s consumers came at a conference where he
and his good friend, Dr. Jon Vanderhof, spoke at a morning session. Not only did
they give everyone a great deal of information, they did it in such a way there
were people rolling in the aisles.
