The Enrichment Program will support the recruitment, mentoring and career development of trainees and early-career investigator interested in MASLD-spectrum research, including those from underrepresented backgrounds. By exposing early-career investigators to a variety of educational programs, training programs, workshops and resources, the Enrichment Program will not only support the professional growth of the next generation of liver researchers, but also increase their awareness of MASLD and its impact on the health of the diverse population of Los Angeles County. By meeting these objectives, the program will support the 'Total MASLD' theme of the center.

  • Enrichment Program Directors: Alexander Monto, MD, UCLA; Carrie R. Wong, MD, PhD, UCLA
