Dr. Aurélie Plessier is a French hepatologist and consultant in the Hepatology Unit at Beaujon Hospital (Clichy, France), where she has been leading the National Referral Centre for Vascular Liver Diseases (CRMVF) since 2006. She is internationally recognized for her expertise in vascular disorders of the liver and portal hypertension.

She holds a PhD in Physiology and Pathophysiology from Paris Cité University (2021), alongside her medical degree (MD in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, Paris University, 2000), and postgraduate degrees in Biostatistics and Medical Ethics.

Dr. Wong is a full professor at the University of Toronto. She has spent her career researching on the pathophysiology of decompensated cirrhosis, especially on ascites and renal failure. More recently, she has extended her research into acute-on-chronic liver failure, concentrating on understanding organ failures and potential treatment

Dr. Raiya Sarwar is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at NYU Langone, specializing in living donor liver transplantation, metabolic associated steatotic liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, and autoimmune liver conditions. She is board-certified in internal medicine, gastroenterology, and transplant hepatology. Dr. Sarwar is an active member of the AASLD Surgery and Transplantation Committee. She completed her medical degree at Rawalpindi Medical College, followed by residency at the University of Illinois–Urbana Champaign and fellowship at the University of Minnesota.

Research interests: cardiovascular complications of liver disease including cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Clinical interest: improving hepatology care for marginalized populations, especially Indigenous People.

Dr. Jessica Hartman is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Department of Regenerative Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Hartman completed her Ph.D. with the support of a NSF GRFP fellowship at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in the lab of Dr. Grover Miller studying enzyme kinetics of substrate oxidation by cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). She then went on to do a NIEHS F32-supported postdoctoral fellowship with Dr.

My laboratory will focus on understanding liver metabolism in normal and diseased states. Our goal is to investigate how bile acids and nuclear receptors maintain metabolic homeostasis and contribute to liver diseases, including cancer, using cell-based systems and genetically engineered mouse models.
