About us
We are an academic research group of the Department of General-, Visceral- and Transplant Surgery of LMU Klinikum München with a main focus on transplant and hepatobiliary surgery.
Our research group 1) investigates the possibilities of inducing local acceptance of the allograft through immune-editing, 2) develops machine perfusion as a platform for ex vivo pre-treatment of donor organs, 3) investigates the feasibility of xenotransplantation with immunological modified pig donor organs, and 4) develops artificial intelligence algorithms for organ allocation and therapy pathways in transplantation and liver surgery.
