Understanding Mediators of Metabolic Disease [ 2018 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Magdalene Montgomery (Principal investigator)

Brief description This research proposal will identify changes in liver-secreted proteins during the development of fatty liver, and in the transition from fatty liver to the more advanced form of liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Understanding the differences in protein secretion between NASH patients and patients with normal/fatty liver will provide the opportunity to identify disease biomarkers that could be determined from a blood sample. This will provide a major shift in clinical care.
