Biliary Epithelial Cell Physiology and Cholangiopathies
A long-standing focus of the lab is to study the biology of biliary epithelial cells (cholangiocytes) and to understand the pathophysiology of acquired, congenital and neoplastic diseases of the biliary tract (cholangiopathies). Cholangiopathies are rare diseases but are frequent as a group and represent one of the major unmet needs in hepatology.
