Lung perfusion project

Lung transplantation is a life-saving measure for patients with end-stage lung disease.
However, organ shortage and organ rejection prevent transplantation from being a long-lasting cure for all patients in need.
In the lung project, we will use ex vivo perfusion technology to:
-
recondition marginal quality donor lungs
-
modulate the immunogenicity of donor lungs
