Andrea Schlegel
Dr. Andrea Schlegel is a certified transplant and HPB surgeon, currently working at the Careggi University Hospital in Florence, Italy. Since more than 10 years, her research focus on underlying mechanisms of ischemia/reperfusion injury and protective effects of novel machine perfusion technology.
One of Andrea`s main interests is the development of new markers to predict organ viability during machine perfusion, to enable the safe use of high-risk donor livers, as frequently seen in Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Italy, where she worked recently.
