The Liver Diseases group is a referent at the local, national and international level in research, and is one of the most active groups in clinical research at VHIR. The group's prominent involvement in clinical trials is a clear indication of our professionals' commitment to ensuring that patients have access to state-of-the-art therapies. Our participation and collaboration in international projects and consortiums are also a fundamental characteristic of the group. The main objective of the group is to become one of the best translational research groups in liver diseases. It is essential to be able to apply all the findings of basic research to clinical research to improve the health of patients with liver disease.
