About

Daniele Focosi is a leading researcher in transplantation medicine and virology, with a particular focus on innovative surgical techniques and infectious disease complications in immunocompromised patients. His most cited work, "Laparoscopic Robot-Assisted Pancreas Transplantation" (2011, 92 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field, demonstrating the first successful application of robotic surgery to pancreas transplantation. This pioneering study showed that the da Vinci surgical system could reduce surgical complications while maintaining the benefits of insulin independence, opening new possibilities for minimally invasive transplant procedures. Focosi further advanced this work with "Laparoscopic Robot-Assisted Pancreas Transplantation: First World Experience" (2013, 15 citations), providing additional evidence for the feasibility and safety of this approach. Beyond surgical innovation, his research spans viral infections in transplant recipients, including SARS-CoV-2 and hepatitis viruses, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. With over 200 publications and an h-index exceeding 40, Focosi has established himself as a versatile and impactful researcher whose work bridges surgical innovation and clinical virology, influencing both transplant practice and infectious disease management.
