About

Claire Francoz is a leading hepatologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the modern landscape of liver transplantation. Her work focuses on the evolving epidemiology of liver disease, organ allocation systems, and post-transplant outcomes. In her landmark 2023 status report, which has garnered 277 citations, Francoz provides a comprehensive analysis of the field's transformation over the past decade. She documents the shift from viral-related indications toward metabolic and cancer-related diseases, and critically evaluates the implementation of MELD 3.0-based prioritization models. Her contributions have been instrumental in helping clinicians understand how changing patient demographics and allocation policies impact transplant access and survival. Beyond this seminal work, Francoz has published extensively on the management of complications in cirrhosis and the optimization of transplant timing. Her research is widely cited by both clinical practitioners and policymakers, reflecting its direct impact on patient care and organ allocation strategies. Through her rigorous analyses, Francoz continues to guide the field toward more equitable and effective transplantation practices.
