Stefan Morarasu

Specialist general surgeon with special interest in surgical oncology and colorectal surgery. Clinical researcher with specialist interest in surgical and oncological outcomes in colorectal surgery. Meta-analysis expert with several published meta-analyses in high impact journals. I have a PhD in experimental surgery and have been frequently involved in experimental, preclinical research projects involving use of nanoparticles to target cancer therapy and tumor cultures response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I am constantly part of student teaching and resident training in general surgery, colorectal surgery, minimally invasive surgery, academic writing and scientific research.
