    Dr. Giorgakis’ research interests focus on donation after circulatory death liver transplantation, machine preservation technologies, and expedited utilization of marginal grafts; transplant oncology; transplant healthcare quality improvement projects; and comparative analysis of large scale national databases.

    Dr. Giorgakis is the lead local investigator in multiple multicenter and international projects, including the HOPE in Action liver and kidney trials for the use of HIV+ organs on HIV+ recipients sponsored by J Hopkins/ NIAID, the international cohort study on liver transplantation on cirrhotics with early intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, the CovidSurg and CovidSurg-Cancer studies supported by the Global Surgery Collaborative/NIHR, the Liver Group, the International COVID-19 Solid Organ Transplant Registry, and the International CERO-19 Project.
