Research on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)

MASLD has become the most common liver disease affecting adults and children.

Our research purposes are to further characterize the natural history of MASLD, identify factors that influence the progression of MASLD, and to develop and validate diagnostic methods for MASLD.
