Organisation
European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO)
The European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) is a scientific society dedicated to the field of artificial organs and organ replacement therapy. This organization aims to promote scientific progress, research, and the application of artificial organs and other technologies in the field of organ substitution.
ESAO provides a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences among professionals from various disciplines, including engineers, medical professionals, biologists, and others involved in the research and development of artificial organs. The society regularly organizes conferences, seminars, and workshops where the latest scientific findings are presented and discussed.
Furthermore, ESAO supports collaboration between researchers, clinics, industry, and other organizations to advance translational research and drive innovative technologies in the field of artificial organs.
