The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), the leading organization of scientists and health care professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease, is pleased to announce the selection of 33 hepatology leaders as Fellows and six hepatology-focused clinicians as Associate Fellows.
The Fellows program (FAASLD) bestows honorary recognition to AASLD Regular and International members who have made significant contributions to the knowledge and/or practice of liver and biliary diseases and are considered leaders in the field.
