Donation and transplantation of organs, tissues and cells

Organ, tissue and cell donation is one of the greatest acts of generosity and solidarity that an individual can do, and we strive to ensure that the maximum number of people benefit from it.

We are a multidisciplinary group of professionals who investigate the search for innovative strategies to optimize the process of donation, preservation, processing, and transplantation of organs, tissues and cells in order to increase their availability, expand their functionality, and improve their quality and safety, so they contribute to better health outcomes.

We deepen into the characterization of the damaging mechanisms that operate in the ischemia-reperfusion process during donation and transplantation in order to develop practices that allow us to prevent, minimize or treat them.
