Why This Conference Matters
Liver disease spans viral, metabolic, alcohol-related, autoimmune and malignant conditions, and research progresses rapidly across clinical and laboratory settings. The EASL Congress gathers hepatologists, scientists and allied professionals from many countries, giving presenters a specialist audience able to assess new findings in depth. With both in-person and online participation, accepted abstracts can reach a broad hepatology community, and presenting offers early feedback, visibility and opportunities to form collaborations before full publication.
