Pancreas and Liver Care

Pancreas and liver clinical research programs, as well as leading pancreas and liver care medical experts, mean your child will receive the very best treatment and care here. Our pancreas program is a select participant of INSPPIRE (INternational Study Group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In search for a cuRE), a prestigious research consortium dedicated to pediatric pancreatitis, with only 25 participating sites worldwide. We participate in the POST (Prospective Observational Study of TPIAT) Study, a multi-institutional grant-funded study meant to better understand and improve total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT).

Our liver care experts conduct clinical research in hepatobiliary surgery, liver transplantation, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, neonatal cholestasis, genetic liver disease, pediatric portal hypertension and more.
