Welcome to The Liver Meeting Digital Experience™

The Liver Meeting Digital Experience™ (TLMdX) is an online forum for the exchange of groundbreaking ideas and findings in basic, translational, and clinical research in diseases of the liver and biliary tract, and in liver transplantation. We have designed a showcase for the presentation and interchange of information and opinions on state-of-the-art care and management of the full spectrum of patients with liver disease.
