About Us

Liver Disease News is a digital platform intended to provide the liver disease communities with the most recent news and information on liver disease, as well as first-hand community perspectives from our patient and caregiver columnists.

The publishing team at Liver Disease News is made up of science writers and editors, most of whom have PhDs in the life sciences; veteran journalists; and columnists who are members of the liver disease communities. Together, they ensure that all content published on Liver Disease News is relevant, accurate, informative, relatable, and easy to understand.

Our daily reporting includes:

• news stories detailing the latest research and information on liver disease conditions
• columns by members of the liver disease communities

Editorial and fact-checking process

Each piece of content is carefully selected and written with the liver disease communities in mind. Sources for news stories and resource pages include peer-reviewed studies, press releases, announcements, interviews, webinars, and conference sessions, among others. All articles go through a stringent fact-checking and editing process to ensure they are accurate, objective, comprehensive, and well-explained.

Our columns are written by liver disease patients and caregivers who provide an intimate look at what it’s like to live with the disease. Their stories offer a realistic first-hand account of various aspects of the disease, in addition to providing inspiration and hope to our patient communities. While columns are largely opinion and perspective pieces, each one still goes through a comprehensive editing and fact-checking process to ensure clarity, accuracy, and fairness.
