Who is Paolo Macchiarini? / Facts
- Previously he was considered a pioneer in the field of regenerative medicine using both biological and synthetic scaffolds seeded with patients' own stem cells as trachea transplants, and he was a visiting researcher on a temporary contract at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden from 2010
- Macchiarini has been accused of research misconduct and unethically performing experimental surgeries, even on relatively healthy patients
- Seven of the eight patients who received one of his synthetic trachea transplants have died
- Also, an article in Vanity Fair suggested that Macchiarini had falsified some of his academic credentials on résumés
- Similar accusations have been published in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet according to which Macchiarini's claim to have been a professor at universities in Hannover and Barcelona has turned out to be false
- The secretary of the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, Urban Lendahl, resigned in February 2016, owing to his involvement in recruiting Macchiarini to Karolinska Institutet in 2010
- Shortly afterwards the vice chancellor, Anders Hamsten, who in 2015 had cleared Macchiarini of scientific misconduct also resigned
- Macchiarini's employment by Karolinska was due to end in November 2016 following a decision by the institution not to renew his contract
- On March 23, 2016 the Staff Disciplinary Board at KI announced that his employee relationship with the institute had been effectively terminated
- After being dismissed from Karolinska, he works at the Kazan (Volga region) Federal University in Russia
- Since June 2016, Macchiarini is under legal investigation by the public prosecutor's office on a suspicion for manslaughter and grievous bodily harm based on the material leading to death of the three patients operated in Sweden released from the scientific inquiry
- The decision concerning a possible indictment will be made in 2017 pending medico-legal assessment by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare
- A full list of all known (including those not officially declared) patients of Macchiarini, who received from him a cadaveric or plastic trachea, has been collected by Leonid Schneider
