Research interests
Our research activities demonstrate a strong integration of clinical activities with laboratory expertise and biotechnological platforms. These span from very basic cellular and molecular biology to translational projects in Hepatology, Gastroenterology, HPB, Liver Transplant and Regenerative Medicine.
Opportunities
Hepatology at the Royal Free Hospital has a long tradition in hosting and training clinical and research fellows from all over the world - a great source of pride for us. We continue to welcome new fellows.
EASL Fellowships
The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) provides career-building opportunities for scientists, including a selection of EASL Fellowships. Our IDLH is among the most attractive host institutions for basic and clinical hepatology fellowships, as indicated by fellowship applications.
Clinical posts
Each year, we offer two fully funded 12-month fixed-term senior clinical posts. These are mainly orientated to clinical training and are available through competitive interview. We also welcome fully self-funded clinical and research fellows for clinical or basic research provided they are eligible for GMC registration.
