DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY AND ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION

WELCOME TO DETO WEBSITE

The Department of Emergency and Organ Transplantation of the Bari's University is located at the Policlinico. It is constituted by eleven sections which have the primary goal of performing basic and clinical research in transplantation, particularly on the kidney, liver, heart and pancreas.

This research is carried out in collaboration with extramural structures such as universities, multinational pharmaceutical companies, small and medium sized enterprises manufacturing biotecnology applied to devices, artificial organs, prostheses and tissues, and enterprises involved in informatics for the transmission of data and images. Moreover, a static telepathology and image analysis service is available through the INTERNET. The Department has stipulated agreements with European and North-American Universities to exchange research programs for scientific collaborations supported by private and public, national and international institutions. The research activity is also directed to improve professional education for medical students, residents and phylosophy doctors. Each section of the Department develops specific scientific, educational and clinical aspects of their branch. Great attention has recently been given to oncology: active clinical work is performed in medical and surgical therapy of tumours. Some research programs are based on modern therapeutic approaches such as: immunotherapy and vaccines.

The teaching staff of the Department is involved in master courses, medical, veterinary, dental and biotecnologic schools, residency and doctorates. Some are listed in the web site and are chaired by associated and full professors of the Department.

Part of the clinical activity is represented by the transplantation program of the Apulia Region, which is taken care of by the Department. In fact, The Regional Program of Organ Transplantation Center is located in the Department at the Policlinico, Bari.

With this brief presentation we would like to introduce the website visitor to come to our Department and our research, educational and clinical activity.
