Mellinger among AASLD Foundation Award recipients

Twenty future leaders in hepatology were selected to receive awards this year based on their professional potential, experience and commitment of their faculty mentors, quality of the proposed research project or clinical program, and the clinical and/or academic environment of their institution. Applications are reviewed by a selected group of academic and clinical specialists, physicians, and associate practitioners in the fields of hepatology and transplant hepatology.

Among the winners for the Clinical and Translational Research Award in Liver Diseases, was IHPI member Jessica Mellinger, for her research project: Improving Outcomes for Patients with Alcoholic Liver Disease.
