Eduardo Rocha, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Nephrology at Rio de Janeiro Federal University - Brazil, Dr. Rocha has received his training in Clinical Transplantation and Transplant Coordination from major universities and hospitals  in four different countries  -  Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (Germany), Necker Hospital (France), University of Barcelona ( Spain) and Harvard University (USA) – before assuming his position as head of “Programa Estadual de Transplantes”, a public non-profit Organ Procurement Organization covering a 16 million-population-based state in his native country.
Dr. Rocha’s presentation at TTS2010 will focus on the challenges of increasing the number of organ and tissue donors, while keeping the quality and efficacy of transplant programs in Brazil and South America. The need of integrating modern management and basic science tools as means to achieve this goal will also be emphasized.
