Researchers: Prof Narcissus Teoh (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Geoffrey Farrell ,  The Australian National University (Managed by)

Brief description The overall aim of the project is to investigate the significance of microparticles in liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). IRI causes damage to donor livers stored in preparation for liver transplantation. We postulate that microparticles released from the liver are critical in this form of injury. The expected outcomes are novel insights into liver IRI with the aim of developing new approaches to prevent liver damage during liver surgery, transplantation and shock.
