Job
Research Coordinator Programme de perfusion ex-vivo du poumon (EVLP), CHUM-CRCHUM
Research Interests
Preclinical and translational research:
- Porcine model of systemic inflammation and acute lung injury induced with LPS infusion: reconditioning of marginal donor lungs with ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP).
- Transplantation of porcine DCD lungs (donation after cardiocirculatory death + 2h of warm ischemia) after therapeutic reconditioning during EVLP.
- Optimization of the ex-vivo lung perfusion platform for prolonged therapeutic reconditioning and pharmacologic intervention (12H EVLP).
- Evaluation of lung function with EVLP in a porcine DCD model for cardiac procurement followed by normothermic regional perfusion (EVLP Post-NRP).
Clinical and applied research:
- Normothermic ex-vivo lung reconditioning in clinical lung transplantation (EVLP - CHUM).
- Organ donation after Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Quebec: lung evaluation with EVLP and outcomes after lung transplantation.
