Lab-grown organoids and regenerative medicine, with Dr Fotis Sampaziotis

This week we spoke to Dr Fotis Sampaziotis, a hepatologist and clinical lecturer at the University of Cambridge. Dr Sampaziotis is part of a team who has recently demonstrated successful liver repair using two methods: repair of damaged bile ducts using lab-grown bile duct cell infusions, and transplantation of bioengineered bile duct organoids to replace damaged regions of the liver. We also discuss how these methods could promote bile duct repair in donor livers prior to transplantation. Finally, Dr Sampaziotis explains how he enjoys a dual career as a clinician and a scientific researcher.
