The CLDF has started a new, hepatology committee dedicated to increasing the
visibility and opportunities for women working in the field of liver disease.
The mission of the group is to grow and support a network of our women
colleagues to ultimately better the lives of those affected by liver disease.
We gratefully acknowledge Intercept Pharmaceuticals as a founding sponsor of WHISE.
