Comprehensive Liver Research Center

Scientific Catalyst Program

Drs. Alexander Monto and Carrie Wong

The Scientific Catalyst Program will support the recruitment, mentoring and career development of trainees and early-career investigator interested in MASLD-spectrum research. By exposing early-career investigators to a variety of educational programs, training programs, workshops and resources, the Scientific Catalyst 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.
