Why get tested for hepatitis?
Because hepatitis is one of the leading causes of liver cancer — and millions don’t know they’re living with it.

- New developments in liver disease, MASH, and #biomarkers
- Alongside cutting-edge science in #HBV, #HCV, #HDV, and #HCC
The conference will bring together:
✅ Key opinion leaders from top academic and clinical research institutions
✅ Industry scientists and decision-makers from leading biotech and pharma
