Marco Andreani
I am the Director of the Transplant Immunogenetics Laboratory supporting the HSCT and living SOT clinical programs at the Pediatric Hospital Bambino Gesù, in Rome, besides serving the activities of several HSCT Centers belonging to the Rome Transplant Network. I am Author or co-Author of more than 160 publications in peer review scientific journals in the field of Histocompatibility, Immunogenetics, Populations Genetics, Mixed Chimerism and Immunological Tolerance. I served EFI as member of Educational Committee from 2010 to 2019, contributing to the development of the ESHI Diploma. I was Chair of the EBTI from 2017 to 2021 and Councilor in the EFI Executive Committee from 2019 to 2022. Up to date, I am an EFI Inspector (since 2006), member the EFI Accreditation Committee as Commissioner for Region 7C (since 2018) and member of the EFI Population Genetics Working Core Group (since 2015). I would consider a great honor to be nominated as EFI President, and if elected, I will primarily focus my efforts in promoting the opportunities of training, in particular by e-learning programs, to expand the H&I expertise among the members of our Community, besides continue the development of scientific interactions with the different Scientific and Medical Organizations.
