Research

Overview

I would be pleased to work with trainees and scientists who are interested in studying health outcomes in patients with chronic liver disease, with particular attention to chronic hepatitis B and C infections, fatty liver disease, liver cirrhosis and complications of portal hypertension, and hepatocellular carcinoma. I am an investigator in several national or international multicenter cohort studies evaluating health outcomes focused on hepatitis B and hepatitis C therapy, and a VA cohort study evaluating liver disease outcomes in patients with or without HIV coinfection.
