Dr. Burchill is an associate professor of medicine in the division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Colorado. His research aims to define the immune response in the liver during the progression of of chronic liver disease with a focus on dysfunction in both the liver lymphatic system and liver infiltrating T cells.

Hellmut G. Augustin is Professor of Vascular Biology at the Medical Faculty Mannheim of Heidelberg University, Head of the Division for Vascular Oncology and Metastasis Research at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), and Managing Director of the European Center for Angioscience at Heidelberg University, Germany. Trained as a Veterinary Pathologist (Hannover, Germany) and as PhD in Experimental Pathology (Cornell University, USA), he worked previously as Assistant Professor at the University of Göttingen, Germany and as Department Head at the Tumor Biology Center in Freiburg, Germany.

Karen Kristine Sørensen, DVM, PhD, is Professor and Head of Vascular Biology Research Group, Department of Medical Biology, University of Tromsø (UiT) - The Arctic University of Norway. The group studies the biology of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) with focus on the specialized function of these endothelial cells in scavenging and filtration of blood borne macromolecules and nanoparticles. LSECs represent a unique, specialized, endothelium, which is vital for the metabolism and functional homeostasis of the liver.

Brian Thorsen is the Director of the PSC Partners Patient Registry. He received his B.A. in Statistics from UC Berkeley, and began his career in math education. Since his PSC diagnosis in 2020, and joining PSC Partners staff in 2022, he has been working to empower patients like him to be active participants and collaborators in research.

I completed medical school at Tufts University school of Medicine, Internal Medicine residency at University of Pennsylvania, and Gastroenterology and Transplant Hepatology fellowships at Yale University. I am an attending transplant hepatologist at the University of Washington where I serve as the medical director for Northwest Hepatology and as core faculty for the GI fellowship. I am also a part of a multidisciplinary group for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia working to build a center of excellence.

I grew up in Mexico City whereI completed my medical school education at Anahuac University in Mexico City, where I developed a strong foundation in medicine and a passion for patient care. After medical school, I moved to the United States to pursue my residency and fellowship training.

Dr. Jones, a Hepatologist and Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, trained at the University of North Carolina for Gastroenterology and Transplant Hepatology. She joined University of Miami faculty in 2015. She takes a multi-pronged approach to researching disparities in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and chronic liver disease. She used community-based participatory research to test the feasibility and acceptability of home-based hepatitis B screening. Dr.

I am a physician-scientist and hepatologist at the University of Southern California with a research interest in Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Autoimmune Liver Diseases. I study mechanisms of liver injury and hepatotoxicity with a particular focus on cell death pathways using basic, animal model, and translational approaches. My lab currently focuses on Immune-mediated Liver Injury from Checkpoint Inhibitors and the complex interplay if signaling mechanisms leading to hepatotoxicity in immunotherapy.
