Giovanni Ferrari PhD

New work with Dr Sacks shows that how we model the 3D matrix around cells can change what we think cells are doing. For mitral valve cells, better force measurements mean clearer insight into disease progression and therapeutic testing. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @ColumbiaSurgery

Grateful to the 4 reviewers for their aligned yet mutually contradictory feedback. The manuscript is now simultaneously shorter, longer, clearer, and more comprehensive. Please find the revised version attached. P.S. I am equally complicit. Been one of them

@macaron_md_ Thank you Nikia and Congrats again on your match! Well done 👍

I am so honored to have been mentored by Dr. Ferrari and to now get to see him elected to the AATS! Congratulations!!! More to come!

Incredibly honored to be elected to the @AATSHQ. As a PhD in surgery for 20+ years, this reflects incredible collaborations with surgeon-scientists at @nyulangone @pennsurgery and most of all, my very own @ColumbiaSurgery @ColumbiaCTSurg the place that made everything possible 🫀

Fantastic keynote by Dr. Raza on cancer prevention and implantable intelligence. The era of biosensors is here: transforming how we detect, monitor, and intervene. Proud to be part of this evolving story #AATSHQ

Presidential Welcome #AATSHQ 👏

The challenge of Heart and Liver Transplant in patients with adult Congenital Heart Disease. Dr Takeda @ColumbiaSurgery #CHD #ACHD #AATSHQ

We should always question what we do. TA-NRP in DCD heart transplantation is a clear example. The debate itself is a healthy driver of progress. How can biology help clarify what we mean by death? #AATSHQ

The great tradition of outstanding matches for @lab_ferrari PGY research members continues.Huge congratulations to Dr. Kosuri (MGH) and Dr. Levine (Cornell) on matching into exceptional fellowship programs. Strong science and persistence pay off @ColumbiaSurgRes @ColumbiaSurgery

Well Done! #ISHLT2026
