Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Transplantation Medicine

Background:

  • Severe acute liver failure (ALF) carries high mortality, often due to cerebral edema and brain herniation.
  • Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment, but donor organ scarcity leads to significant mortality while awaiting transplant.
  • Existing artificial liver support systems have shown limited clinical success.
