Joint Winner: Rares Calin Craciun
Born and raised in Transylvania, I am a GI and Hepatology fellow in training in my fourth year of practice. After receiving an MD degree at the “Iuliu Hațieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, I have spent most of my professional formation within the “Prof. Dr. O. Fodor” Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Cluj-Napoca, one of the largest tertiary-care facilities in Romania. In the past six years, my clinical focus was on hepatology, split between liver tumors and portal hypertension. Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate, the research activity closely matching my clinical interest. To this point, I have co-authored over ten publications, mostly on interventional therapies in hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases, while being actively involved in the local and European scientific community.
