Research focus
Various chronic liver diseases are immune-mediated, meaning that dysregulated immune responses play a critical role in the development and progression of these diseases. Our research group has a specific interest in the identification of new pathological immune cell populations in chronic liver disease and how they contribute to disease. In my project, I specifically focus on immune dysregulation in the context of cholestatic liver disease and liver cancer.
