Last July 18th, Carlo Barbieri got a PhD with the work entitled “Anemia management in End Stage Renal Disease patients undergoing dialysis: a comprehensive approach through machine learning techniques and mathematical modeling”. This research work has been carried out within the framework of the close collaboration between Fresenius Medical Care (FME) and IDAL. The PhD was supervised by IDAL members José D. Martín and Emilio Soria as well as by Prof. Bernard Canaud, Chairman of the FME Medical Board for Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The breakthrough research conducted by Carlo was shown up in his excellent viva, that was qualified as Excellent Cum-Laude, the maximum grade for a PhD thesis. The panel of examiners was chaired by Dr. Stefano Stuard (Vice President at FME Europe, Middle East and Africa); Dr. Marcelino Martínez (University of Valencia) was the Secretary of the panel, and Dr. Ignacio Díaz was the external examiner. Congratulations Carlo for your great work!
