Dr. Romaric Loffroy, M.D., Ph.D., is Professor of interventional radiology currently working at the University of Dijon School of Medicine. Originally from Dijon, France, Dr. Loffroy obtained his medical degree from the University of Burgundy, Dijon, France in 2001 and then received his residency in radiology at the same University, completed in 2006. Thereafter, his special interest in the field of interventional radiology led him to do a clinical fellowship in interventional radiology at the department of vascular and interventional radiology at the University Hospital in Dijon, France. His field of expertise is in interventional radiology, especially in embolization techniques, with particular interest in gastrointestinal bleeding as well as peripheral venous and arterial diseases. Dr. Loffroy’s keen interest in the field of research in interventional oncology brought him to the research center in the department of interventional radiology at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Medical Hospital in Baltimore as a postdoctoral research fellow in 2009. Dr. Loffroy is currently doing research in liquid embolic agents, especially cyanoacrylates, and working towards newer endovascular therapies for benign prostatic hyperplasia, venous diseases and liver cancer. Dr. Loffroy has published more than 250 SCI journal papers and book chapters, edited/reviewed for many academic journals, coordinated/participated in several international projects, served as an evaluation expert for organizations such as French Society of Radiology (SFR) and High Authority of Health (HAS).
