Extensive Research Description

I participate as an investigator in the NIH sponsored Acute Liver Failure Study Group where we have been focusing on patients with acute liver failure to advance our understanding of this uncommon disorder.

I am an investigator in clinical trials for patients with Wilson disease, including the testing of once daily use of trientine for maintenance therapy, and the novel agent WTX 101 (choline-tetrathiomolybdate).
