Keshavjee's research has been published predominantly in the following venues:

  • The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation
  • Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
  • American Journal of Transplantation
  • European Respiratory Journal
  • Transplant International

Notable recent papers include:

  • "Three tissue resident macrophage subsets coexist across organs with conserved origins and life cycles," 2022, Science Immunology
  • "Expanding controlled donation after the circulatory determination of death: statement from an international collaborative," 2021, Intensive Care Medicine
  • "Interleukin-6 receptor blockade in patients with COVID-19: placing clinical trials into context," 2021, The Lancet Respiratory Medicine
  • "COVID-19 guidance for triage of operations for thoracic malignancies: A consensus statement from Thoracic Surgery Outcomes Research Network," 2020, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
  • "Static lung storage at 10°C maintains mitochondrial health and preserves donor organ function," 2021, Science Translational Medicine

The publication record and collaboration network suggest a strong engagement with clinical and translational research focused on thoracic surgery, lung transplantation, and critical care, integrating cellular and immunological insights with practical surgical outcomes.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Aspiring medical professionals can explore several flexible online pathways beyond traditional medical school. For current registered nurses, the most affordable accredited online rn to bsn programs offer an accessible and budget-friendly way to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, often while working.

If you hold a non-nursing bachelor's degree but wish to enter advanced practice nursing, consider programs that let you transition from a non nursing bachelor's to msn online. These direct-entry MSN programs are suitable for career changers seeking leadership or specialized nursing roles.

For those interested in a faster entry to the healthcare sector, adn programs (Associate Degree in Nursing) present another option, with many community colleges and schools offering less competitive admissions.

Not all medical careers require direct patient care. Fields like medical billing and coding are in high demand, and quality training can be pursued from home. To get started, explore schools that offer financial aid for medical billing and coding online classes to make career changes or advancement more affordable.
