The digital ILC 2020 recently brought together over ten thousand scientific and medical professionals from a broad range of fields for three days of virtual sessions, ePosters and plenaries. If you couldn’t make it, catch-up with our highlights from this year’s congress.

The main theme this year was a focus on the kinds of everyday life changes that can help or even reverse liver disease. Sharing epidemiological and real-world data on the latest liver research, this year’s expert-led sessions included:

  • Updates on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, from pathophysiology to drug targets, as well as a discussion on the challenges and progress in NASH drug development.
  • An advanced cirrhosis symposium covering topics such as gut microbiota in chronic liver disease and long-term albumin treatment in decompensated cirrhosis.
  • Talks by world-leading experts on the potential of multi-omics technologies and artificial intelligence in conditions such alcoholic liver disease, liver fibrosis and liver cancer.

This year’s conference was packed with a wide range of interactive and engaging content that shared recent data, presented studies and discussed the hottest topics in liver disease.
