ALEJANDRO ESPI MACIAS

ALEJANDRO ESPI MACIAS is a Professor in the Department of Surgery at Universitat de València, where he is actively involved in research related to solid tumors and surgical immunology. He is a member of the InDeST Research Group (Innovative Diagnostic and Therapeutical Developments in Solid Tumors), focusing on advancing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cancer patients.

His research interests lie at the intersection of surgery and immunology, particularly in how surgical intervention affects the immune system. Key areas include the role of immunoglobulins (G, A, M) and the complement system in response to surgical trauma, with implications for postoperative immunity and cancer progression. His work supports the development of innovative clinical approaches in oncological surgery.

The trends in his research, though not detailed in publications here, suggest a long-standing focus on the immunological consequences of surgery, especially in cancer contexts. This foundational work contributes to personalized surgical strategies and improved patient outcomes in solid tumor management.

• Member, InDeST Research Group – Innovative Diagnostic and Therapeutical Developments in Solid Tumors

He completed his doctoral studies at Universitat de València in 1984, with a thesis titled "Efecto de la agresión quirúrgica sobre las inmunoglobulinas (G.A.M.) y sistema del complemento", supervised by Dr. Juan García de Lomas Barrionuevo. While no formal advisees or grants are listed, his academic leadership as a Titular Professor indicates significant contributions to surgical science and mentorship within his department.

His work is centered within the InDeST research group, which aims to bridge diagnostic innovation with therapeutic advancement in solid tumor oncology, integrating clinical surgery with immunological monitoring and response assessment.
