The Inaugural UCLA Comprehensive Liver Research Center Symposium is an annual, full-day event to foster collaborations, learn from scientific experts who conduct liver- and metabolism-related research from around the world, highlight current collaborations and research at UCLA, and promote the work of our junior researchers. The symposium includes presentations from a keynote speaker, invited speakers from local, regional, and international institutions, and junior investigators. Liver-related research from graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior investigators are featured at our poster session.

The Enrichment Program will support the recruitment, mentoring and career development of trainees and early-career investigator interested in MASLD-spectrum research, including those from underrepresented backgrounds. By exposing early-career investigators to a variety of educational programs, training programs, workshops and resources, the Enrichment Program will not only support the professional growth of the next generation of liver researchers, but also increase their awareness of MASLD and its impact on the health of the diverse population of Los Angeles County. By meeting these objectives, the program will support the 'Total MASLD' theme of the center.

  • Enrichment Program Directors: Claudio Villanueva, PhD, UCLA; Carrie R. Wong, MD, PhD, UCLA
