Incredibly saddened to learn about Steve’s untimely passing. He was a dynamo of energy, talent and passion for patients with liver disease and to help the medical community with best practices and evidence based medicine. RIP. Michigan Hepatology LiverTox Liver Fellow Network



Unbelievably rapid identification of the putative hepatotoxin. We should have heightened alert for future cases from plant base proteins as these are more widely used in lieu of animal protein. Really enjoyed the presentations!! Michigan Hepatology Liver Fellow Network AASLD

Using ipsc derived hepatocytes should overcome a lot of prior limitations of primary cells. MPs with flow enhance function and get us closer to in Vivo environment. Really excited to be a part of this cutting edge work !!! Michigan Hepatology Liver Fellow Network AASLD EdinClinTox
