Academic Centre
John Racliffe Hospital
Professor Jean Fasel is Chair of Clinical Anatomy at the Medical Faculty of the University of Geneva, Switzerland. The title of his talk is ‘Anatomy for modern liver surgery and medical education.’
The research conducted by Professor Fasel and his team is primarily concerned with the diagnosis and invasive treatment of lesions of the human brain, skull and liver.
In the field of the brain and skull his particular interest lies with the blood vessels and aneurysmatic diseases affecting them. By combining traditional anatomical methods with advanced imaging and computer technologies, he has contributed to the development of now established endovascular therapies in interventional neuroradiology.
His investigations into the liver have led to an innovative understanding of liver architecture. This academic achievement has been reflected in surgical practice in the form of refined, tissue-friendly operating techniques.
All members of the University and NHS clinical staff are welcome.
