overview

I am an academic plastic surgeon-scientist dedicated to improving patients’ care through research and innovation in restorative and regenerative surgery.

The RESICE (Restorative & Regenerative Surgery Innovation Center) group I lead adopts an integrated approach to comprehensively address multiple areas of need and to successfully achieve its goal of bringing innovation to patient care. Our work includes laboratory-based translational research, clinical trials, development of medical devices, studies on the improvement of surgical education, and investigations on global surgery initiatives. Major areas of interest and focus are listed in the sections below (see: Post-doc section) or on our website.

We value multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations within and beyond biomedical sciences. Our extensive network of local, regional, national, and international partners is instrumental to our mission and we are always open to engage in new collaborative efforts to continue to advance it.

In the last decade, we have been fortunate to work with the federal government (Department of Defense), foundations, and industry. We believe each of these stakeholders are pivotal for transforming health care, and we look forward to further expanding our interactions with them.

Rotation Projects

Our team is committed to provide opportunities to UMMS students to both advance their education and produce scholarly work. Committment and goals are individually discussed and tailored based on the student's interests, goals, needs, and availability. Projects are commonly designed to be led by the student under guidance, and to result in a scientific publication authored by the student. For applications please contact: giorgio.giatsidis@umassmed.edu.

Areas of specific interest include (but are not limited to):

- Surgical Education

- Global Surgery
