Continuing the Sheila Sherlock legacy the UCL Institute for Liver & Digestive Health (ILDH) becomes the most attractive host institutions for basic & clinical Hepatology fellowships in Europe.

Over the past four years an increasing number of applications for fellowships of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) indicated ILDH as the preferred host institution.

According to the new fellowship scheme launched in 2017 EASL provides three types of fellowship programme:

  • 3 year PhD fellowship - Juan Rodes fellowship programme
  • 2 year postgraduate fellowship - Sheila Sherlock fellowship programme
  • Up to 6 months visiting fellowship - Andrew K Burroughs fellowship programme

In 2018 we are delighted to announce that one fellowship for each scheme has been assigned to ILDH as the host institution.
