Description

Join experts providing a comprehensive overview of MetALD, ie, combined metabolic dysfunction-associated and alcohol-associated liver disease. Presenters highlight key considerations for developing robust research programs; leveraging biomarkers and omics technologies; and understanding the interplay between alcohol use, metabolic dysfunction, and liver disease progression. Speakers discuss emerging insights into risk stratification, cohort development, and the relationship between MetALD and HCC. The workshop aims to integrate translational and clinical research approaches, equipping attendees with knowledge to enhance precision medicine strategies in MetALD.
