About

Marina Berenguer is a leading hepatologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the modern practice of liver transplantation. Her work focuses on the evolving landscape of transplant medicine, particularly the changing indications for surgery and the long-term management of recipients. In her landmark 2023 paper, "Liver Transplantation 2023: Status Report, Current and Future Challenges," which has garnered 277 citations, Berenguer provides a comprehensive analysis of the field's transformation. She documents the shift from viral-related indications toward metabolic and cancer-related diseases, while critically evaluating the impact of updated MELD-based allocation systems like MELD 3.0. Beyond this seminal review, Berenguer has made pivotal contributions to understanding recurrent hepatitis C after transplantation and the optimization of immunosuppressive regimens. Her work has been instrumental in improving patient outcomes and guiding clinical protocols worldwide. With a career spanning decades of high-impact research, Berenguer remains a vital voice in hepatology, helping to navigate the complex challenges facing liver transplantation in an era of changing donor demographics and disease patterns.
