Dr. Nana-Maria Wagner Named New Director of Anesthesiology at UMC Mainz
The University Medical Center Mainz welcomes Dr. Nana-Maria Wagner as the new director and owner of the W3 professorship for anesthesiology. She succeeds Prof. Dr. Christian Werner, who retires in September 2025. Dr. Wagner brings a wealth of experience and innovative ideas to her new role.
Dr. Wagner represents anesthesiology, operative intensive care medicine, and pain therapy at the University Medical Center Mainz.

One of Dr. Wagner's key plans is to introduce a 'Patient Blood Management' system. This will improve preoperative preparation and reduce the need for blood transfusions. Her research interest lies in identifying and evaluating new strategies for organ protection in operative medicine. Dr. Wagner is known for her innovative spirit and interdisciplinary competence, which will undoubtedly enrich the University Medical Center Mainz.
