Curriculum vitae
Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Ganschow specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of liver diseases in children and adolescents. Prior to the position at the University Hospital Bonn, the doctor headed the Department of Hepatology and Liver Transplantation in Hamburg, performing more than 30 liver transplants annually. In addition, the field of expertise includes the diagnostics and treatment of infectious diseases, respiratory and gastrointestinal pathologies. The spectrum is also complemented by the diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the nervous system, growth, hormonal disorders, rheumatic, immunological and allergic diseases.
Dr. Ganschow's research focuses mainly on the immunological processes in liver transplantation in children, since there is a risk that the child’s body may reject the transplanted organ by mistaking it for a foreign body. However, he pays special attention to the approaches, which reduce the risk of transplant rejection. Thus, some patients have the opportunity to stop taking immunosuppressants.
