• Genetic mechanisms of inflammation in chronic liver disease

  Studies characterizing the genetic component that modifies the inflammatory response in these patients.

• Cellular mechanisms of inflammation in chronic liver disease

  Studies discerning the mechanistic aspects of the inflammatory response in individual inflammatory cells, especially monocytes/macrophages.

• Molecular mechanisms of inflammation in chronic liver disease
