Eminent and leading scholars in hepatology are invited to visit the NIH Campus in Bethesda, meet with faculty and trainees, and give a seminar about their research. Lectures are attended by members of the Branch, colleagues from the NIDDK Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition, as well as interested researchers and clinicians from NIDDK, NIH, and HHS.
