Saju Joseph, MD, attended medical school at Tufts University, where he graduated in 2002. Afterwards, he became a teaching fellow at Harvard University and a general surgical resident at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. After completing his residency in 2006, he was selected as a Specialist Registrar in Transplant and Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. During this fellowship, Dr. Joseph helped resolve a wide array of complex liver and pancreatic surgical problems and served as part of a team that performed a number of liver auto transplants. Now an Assistant Professor within the Department of Surgery, he is developing a hepatobiliary service at the LSU Interim Hospital, and belongs to the neuroendocrine tumor (NETS) surgical team in Kenner, LA (with Drs. J. Philip Boudreaux and Yi-Zarn Wang). This team performs extremely complex liver, mesenteric root, and pancreatic surgery. As a member of the NOLA NETS group, Dr. Joseph is working to develop a variety of novel therapies for patients with widespread hepatic malignancies. These include liver auto transplantation, in-situ isolated liver perfusion, and ex-vivo perfusion of tumor-bearing livers that otherwise could not be cytoreduced. With significant research experience, Dr. Joseph is the newest member of the novel therapies laboratory directed by Dr. Eugene A. Woltering.
