Drs. Jai BehariAlex Soto-Gutirrez, and Lans Taylor have received a multi PI grant to study, “A vascularized patient-derived iPSC liver acinus microphysiology system as an innovative precision medicine platform for optimizing clinical trial design for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.” This funding will allow the group to create mini-human livers from patients currently in clinical trials for Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH) at UPMC. They will evaluate NASH drugs based on the Genotype and the overall goal is to be able to design better clinical trials for future NASH patients. Congrats to the group and we wish them much success on this exciting project!
