Advances & Research

Our Hepatology Research Center has a comprehensive clinical research program, offering concurrent trials for various liver diseases. We are proud to be at the forefront of advances and research affecting our patients.

Multiple pharmaceutical studies and clinical research trials using new, ground-breaking medications and procedures in the areas of viral hepatitis, liver cancer, gastroenterology and liver transplantation are continually being pursued in our Research Center. Our Liver Biorepository assists in our research efforts through the collection of samples from individuals with liver disease. Researchers in our Liver Immunology Laboratory use translational research to study infection with hepatitis C and B.

If you are interested in learning more about our liver-related clinical research trials, please see our clinical trial database. You can contact the research nurse for a particular study (listed in the "see details" section) to get more details. We also have information on participating in clinical trials.

Hepatology and gastroenterology study locations are available throughout Northern California, with sites in San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento. We encourage patients with hepatitis B or C viruses to learn more about clinical trials.
