Silvia Vilarinho, MD, PhD
Biography
Silvia Vilarinho is a physician-scientist who investigates the genetic and molecular basis of liver diseases using genomics and human samples, having identified five novel genetic liver diseases. Her research aims to discover new genes important for liver function and to use cell biology and animal models to determine the specific mechanism(s) linking mutant gene to disease as a roadmap to further understand and treat rare and common liver diseases. This research enhances patient care, fosters an outstanding training environment for future physician-scientists, and aims to make genomic medicine for liver disease a reality in clinical practice.
