Saskia Bos

Saskia Bos (MD, PhD) works as a respiratory consultant in Leuven, Belgium, specialising in lung transplantation. Prior to that, she worked as a Clinical Research Associate and as an honorary lung transplant physician at Newcastle University and Freeman Hospital, UK. This international experience significantly broadened her perspective on transplantation and helped her build a collaborative network across Europe. She believes strongly in the power of working together, across disciplines, borders, and specialties, to drive innovation and improve patient outcomes. Collaboration is the key to progress.

Her main areas of interest are chronic lung rejection after both lung transplantation and allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and infectious diseases in immunocompromised patients. As an Assistant Professor at BREATHE, KU Leuven, her main research focuses on pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease as well as on areas related to lung transplantation.

She is also a member of the ESOT Infectious Diseases Task Force and Guidelines Task Force.
