Joseph Mugaanyi, MD, PhD.
I am a physician-scientist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow with research interests in organ preservation, liver regeneration, transplantation, and microphysiological systems. My work focuses on developing clinically relevant models of human liver biology, including liver-on-a-chip platforms and patient-derived organoids, to study organ preservation, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and regenerative mechanisms.
Through the integration of bioengineering, experimental surgery, and translational medicine, I aim to develop next-generation strategies that improve donor organ utilization and patient outcomes in transplantation.
