I am an Associate Professor of Surgery at University of Milan-Bicocca and the Director of Division of General Surgery & Transplantation - ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano - Niguarda, Milan. I qualified in Medicine and Surgery in Milan, Italy, and I am board-certified in General Surgery and specialty trained in abdominal organs transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery. I received focused training on liver and kidney transplantation (from both living and deceased donors), as a Visiting Surgeon, at the University of Pittsburgh, Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute. I accessed the robotic surgical training laboratory to develop skills in advanced applications of robotic surgery, as a Visiting Surgeon, at the University of Illinois in Chicago, Department of Surgery. I am a Fellow of the European Board of Surgery (F.E.B.S.), division of Transplantation at the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes (U.E.M.S.). I have over 15 years of experience performing liver, kidney and pancreas transplantations and complex liver and biliary surgery. I spent a substantial portion of my career developing living donor liver and kidney transplantation and studying the safety of the procedure in both the donor and recipient. I refined the techniques of performing LDLT and split-liver transplants. I personally contributed to develop techniques for totally robotic living donor nephrectomy and started the Robotic Kidney Transplant Program in my Institution. Since performing the first case in 2015, I helped to develop the field of donation after cardiac death liver transplantation and pioneered the use of machine perfusion to improve liver and kidney transplantation outcomes. I am PI of the Italian NHS consortium to study the outcomes of split liver transplantation in Italy since its introduction (study published on Journal of Hepatology) as well as the outcomes related to the donor safety in living donor liver transplantation (study published on Liver Transplantation). I am involved in the panel of the national guidelines and recommendations for the use of machine perfusion in Italy (study published on Liver Transplantation). My research interest mainly relates to study the role of laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques in hepato-biliary surgery and kidney procurement from living donor, the new strategies in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases, grafts preservation, and policy issues regarding liver donation and organ allocation. I published extensively in the field of transplantation and hepato-biliary surgery in peer-reviewed professional journals (Google Scholar: h-index:30; citations: 3566; Scopus: documents by author:148; h-index:27; citations: 2685). I published 24 articles as first author. I presented as invited speaker and lecturer at more than 30 major scientific conferences. I am member of the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT), Italian Society of Organ Transplantation (SITO), and Italian Society of Surgery (SIC). I have peer reviewed 37 manuscript. I personally contributed to develop and refine techniques for totally robotic living donor nephrectomy and I personally started the Robotic Kidney Transplant Program in my Institution. Excellent interpersonal skills with colleagues and subordinates within the team I lead; strong mentoring abilities both in an academic context and in the training of individuals in surgical procedures; strong problem-solving skills, even in high-pressure situations and in a surgical environment. My favorite hobby is diving (including technical diving).
