Liver Academy at KI

The Liver Academy is composed of researchers from several departments at Karolinska Institutet (KI) with a common interest in the liver. Our vision is to connect all stakeholders interested in hepatology, leading to state of the art research, patient care and dissemination of knowledge. If you want to engage in the Liver Academy, let us know.

The Liver Academy Seminar series

The Liver Academy at KI is a network that aims to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds to enhance collaborations, enable networking and interaction, especially among junior scientists. Among other things, we are organizing a seminar series, intended to increase interaction between clinicians and basic scientists.
