My name is Liliana Dina, I am assistant professor in the 3rd Medical Clinic, "Iuliu Hatieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca; in addition, my professional qualification is that of a Gastroenterology Consultant in the "O.Fodor" Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Cluj. I also have a 15-year experience in diagnostic and therapeutic digestive endoscopy .
My main scientific interests concern the conditions of the esophagus and liver.
In what concerns the esophagus specifically, one of my research subjects involve the gastroesophageal reflux disease and mainly Barret's esophagus, its epidemiology and pathogenetic risk factors.
Although esophageal conditions are my primary research interest, I try to continue the work in the field of Hepatology; I started with my PhD thesis on the subject of portal hypertension, namely "The use of per-rectal portal scintigraphy in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients with portal hypertension" and would like to pursue this direction as well, alongside my other colleagues involved in the study of portal hypertension.
