Tampa General Hospital has announced the development of a groundbreaking device that optimizes donor organs, significantly increasing the number of eligible donor hearts for transplantation.
This innovative project was led by Dr. Lucian Lozonschi, professor and director of the division of cardiothoracic surgery and transplantation, and Dr. Ruisheng Liu, professor in the department of molecular pharmacology and physiology at the University of South Florida Health Morsani College of Medicine. They secured $500,000 in funding for two years from the Interdisciplinary Research Award at USF, making it the largest grant awarded by the program this year to promote cutting-edge research.
