Surgery and liver transplantation are the fields of research to which the eminent French physician and researcher Eric Vibert has devoted his professional career. For almost three decades, this expert has been involved in the holistic approach to primary liver cancer. Based on these interests, he has positioned himself as a true reference in this field, making significant contributions.

Dr. Vibert also leads a consortium called BOPA, which includes the University Paris-Saclay, the Ecole Mines Telécom and the Hepatobiliary Center of the Paul-Brousse Hospital (AP-HP). The aim of this project is to improve safety in operating rooms. To this end, its innovations are based on digital technologies, in gestation or already existing, which make it possible to increase the range of vision, speech and touch of the medical staff before any type of operation. These contributions, first implemented in simulated surgical rooms, have allowed the validation of multiple disruptive procedures.

In addition, this scientific pioneer is committed to connecting professionals from different fields in order to reinvent surgical practices. That is why his teams bring together engineers and computer scientists, as well as physicians, anesthesiologists, nurses and many other specialists. A work strategy that he continually integrates into his responsibilities and into the leadership of the Department of Surgery and Liver Transplantation at the Paul-Brousse de Villejuif Hospital in Paris.

In terms of academic impact, Dr. Vibert has more than 130 communications at international conferences and 30 plenary lectures. He also has an impressive H-index of 43, having authored 212 publications in first impact journals. He is also the author of the book Droit à l'Erreur, Devoir de Transparence, which deals with transparency and error management in medicine, and is the creator of the Week-End de l'Innovation Chirurgicale, with which he has left an everlasting medical-surgical mark.
