Diethard Monbaliu
Abdominal Transplant Surgeon | UZ Leuven
Prof. Diethard Monbaliu is an abdominal transplant surgeon at UZ Leuven and associate professor at KU Leuven. He specialises in liver, kidney, pancreas and intestinal transplantation, and combines clinical expertise with a deep interest in the history and future of medicine.
In his Thursday session, Diethard brings together three worlds: the legacy of Andreas Vesalius, the evolution of medical anatomy and the future-facing experience of the new Vesalius Museum in Leuven, opening this winter.
Through a live demonstration on an interactive digital dissection table, he will show how the way we study, understand and teach the human body continues to evolve.
