RESEARCH

The research conducted by Jean H.D. Fasel (with pipe, not to be mistaken for the nearby skeleton) 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.

Jean H.D. Fasel has published more than 150 original scientific papers, as well as books and book chapters on these topics (GRAC). The importance of his research is also underlined by invitations to be a visiting professor at leading universities, including Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore, MD, USA).
