Jennifer Lai, MD, MBA, is a general/transplant hepatologist and Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Her mission is to improve the lives of patients with end-stage liver disease both at an individual level -- through exceptional patient-centered care -- and at a system-wide level -- through rigorous clinical investigation and effective dissemination of impactful research. Her research lies at the intersection of hepatology, liver transplantation, and geriatrics, focusing on the application of aging research principles to the care of liver transplant patients across their life-long journey from diagnosis of advanced chronic liver disease through long after liver transplantation. Dr. Lai is principal investigator of the NIH-funded Multi-Center Functional Assessment in Liver Transplantation (FrAILT) Study. She directs the UCSF Advancing Research in Clinical Hepatology (ARCH) program, the clinical research arm of the UCSF Health Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. After earning her undergraduate degree from Stanford University and combined MD/MBA degrees from Tufts University, she completed residency at the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia and gastroenterology and advanced/transplant hepatology fellowships at UCSF. She currently serves as Associate Editor for Hepatology (journal).
