Nacho Albergo is a specialist in oncology & arthroplasty at the Italian Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
His residency training was in Argentina following which he completed specialist fellowships in the University Medical Center (LUMC), Leiden, Netherlands, The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham, UK and Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA.

I graduated in 1999 from the University of Dundee. Basic surgical training was in Newcastle followed by an MD investigating the cellular biology of bone metastases. Higher specialist training was in Perth and Dundee followed by a return to the North East as NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer.
My current post as Consultant consists of 80% oncology and 20% lower limb arthroplasty. I have protected research time in my job plan. This allows me to pursue research at Newcastle University which include basic and translational projects such as detection of circulating tumour cells in sarcoma and the optimisation of cell surface targets for the development of fluorescence guided sarcoma surgery.
