The dependent clause in the sentence is "whose cardiology research has revolutionized heart transplant procedures." This is a subordinate clause that modifies the noun "surgeon" and provides additional information about the surgeon's expertise and accomplishments. The clause begins with the relative pronoun "whose" and includes a subject ("research") and a verb ("has revolutionized"). It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause "The hospital recently hired a brilliant surgeon" to form a complete thought.
