This 2-part workshop is dedicated to fostering innovation and collaboration in hepatology research. In part 1, invited talks led by top experts introduce attendees to forward-thinking perspectives on essential research aspects—including cohort design, biomarker development, and clinical trials—providing a rich base for informed conversations. Part 2 deepens the discussions in breakout sessions where experts and junior faculty jointly tackle practical issues of cohort development, biomarker development, and clinical trials. This workshop promises a stimulating environment for attendees to engage in robust discussions and learn from each other with the goal of driving improvements in hepatology research and, ultimately, patient outcomes.
