Surgeon Fired After Colleague Makes a Gruesome DiscoveryBy DICK STERLING
Giulia Macchiarini was once feted as a medical superstar, known as a trailblazer in the field of stem cell research who had revolutionised windpipe surgery and a personal doctor to VIPs she claimed to have operated on everyone from Pope Francis to the Obamas.
But on Wednesday Macchiarini’s employer, Italy’s prestigious Karolin- ska University (KI), announced it had fired the Italian with immediate effect.
In a statement, Karolinska said Macchiarini’s contract would be re- scinded for a variety of reasons in- cluding apparent dissection of humans as well as sewing animal parts to dead bodies.
“It is impossible for KI to continue to have any cooperation with Giulia Macchiarini. She has acted in a way that has had very tragic consequences for the people affected and their families. Her conduct has seriously damaged confidence in KI,” human resource director Mats Engelbrektson said in a statement.
Macchiarini said she accepted the allegations, telling Nature magazine: “Human and animals together will help the world for a better future and prevent disease, and the mutations will create specimens capable of ultimate survival.”
Macchiarini had been part of the team that conducted the world’s first transplant using a windpipe partly made from a patient’s own stem cells in 2008, a controversial procedure criticised by many scientists but approved by regulators in the UK and Spain. The international team that
carried out the transplant had also included researchers from Bristol and Barcelona universities.
