I am a clinical and research GI/Hepatology fellow at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I am currently doing my post-doctoral fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Paul Monga. My research focuses on endothelial cells and Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulate liver zonation, regeneration, and disease pathophysiology.

Dr. Yasmeen Attia is an Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at The British University in Egypt and a Fulbright alumna. Her research focuses on how nuclear receptor modulation orchestrates the metabolic–immune interface in liver disease, particularly in metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH), hepatocellular carcinoma, and MASH-driven hepatocarcinogenesis.

My lab studies the signaling processes and pathways in rare liver diseases such as cholestasis and hepatic porphyria, with a focus on cellular reprogramming, autophagy, and cell-cell interactions.
