Marc Anders Email & Phone Number

My primary goal in the realm of clinical care is to provide my patients and their families with the best available evidence-informed care while delivering it with a globally acquired expertise. I have been trained internationally accredited in three continents – Europe, Australia, and the USA -at well-known institutions in Anesthesia and adult and pediatric Critical Care Medicine. I am a passionate clinical researcher and clinician with a strong focus on Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) technologies including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist devices (VADs). In order to disseminate knowledge and help others achieve their goals, I have harnessed both traditional methods as well as the power of social media, internet-based applications, and streaming. I have facilitated regular didactic teaching sessions during each of my faculty roles in Germany, Australia as well as now at Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston, TX, USA. I developed and lead the bimonthly Mechanical Support (MCS) Meeting at Texas Children's Hospital, which is an internationally streamed clinical resource for discussion of the application of ELCS for patients with advanced respiratory and/or cardiovascular failure. Additionally, I created and regularly update an open-source, online guideline for evidence and experience-based congenital cardiac intensive care, “Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Guideline” (www.picudoctor.org). Most recently, as the COVID-19 pandemic was evolving, I founded the telegram group “COVID-19 ICU UPDATE,” an international consortium of adult and pediatric critical care providers that fostered clinical collaboration and experience sharing regarding the intensive care treatment of patients with COVID-19. My clinical work and interests in ECLSserve as the foundation for my clinical research endeavors. I have co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications specific to ECMO and VADsupport.In the past four years, I have made conscientious contributions to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) Registry Committee as a member of the International Scientific Oversight Committee. My contributions along with my academic and educational work led to me being elected as the current Chair of the ELSO Scientific Oversight Committee. As a dedicated clinician-researcher, I have extended mentorship in clinical care and research to more than 50 mentees to foster their growth within research as they advance their own careers.

Listed skills include Icu, Critical Care, Ecmo, Pediatrics, and 21 others.
