Hepatology Research
Improving Care by Seeking Novel Treatments
Treating liver disease isn’t just about treating the liver. It requires a multidisciplinary approach that looks at the condition and the patient from a variety of perspectives. Our diverse research team includes:
- Board-certified transplant hepatologists
- Board-certified liver transplant surgeons
- Dedicated clinical research nurses
- Dedicated clinical research coordinators
- Social workers
- Dietitians
- Pharmacists
With a focus on clinical and translational research, our hepatology research program is involved with a variety of sponsor- and industry-funded clinical trials – as well as investigator-initiated studies in the area of liver disease, cirrhosis and liver transplantation. Our current initiatives include:
- Clinical trials in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis
- Designing approaches that reduce readmission rates for liver transplant patients
- Exploring new therapies for fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, hepatitis C and other liver diseases
We have the experience, equipment and expertise necessary to successfully run clinical trials of all sizes and involving a wide range of patient populations.
