About
Introduction
I am a senior research technician .I am interested in organ injury, inflammation and regeneration following surgical interventions such as organ transplantation.
We are studying how interventions such as dietary restriction and novel techniques such as machine perfusion may benefit patients using model systems, and translate these findings to human trials.
