Message
In graduate school, he was engaged in basic and translational research on fatty liver disease. During my subsequent 3.5 years of study at the University of California, San Diego, I was involved in basic research on chronic liver diseases as well as cell isolation work from human livers. Recently, he participated in the development of guidelines for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-related fatty liver disease. Our goal is to promote research and practice focusing on fatty liver disease to improve patients' overall health and achieve a better prognosis.
