• Seeking a dynamic Chief of Hepatology and Medical Transplantation to lead the UPMC Center for Liver Diseases (CLD). Offering leadership opportunities within the UPMC Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute (STI) and the nationally ranked Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.
• Dr. Thomas Starzl and UPMC pioneered the first liver transplant in 1981. Since then, 6,000+ adults have received liver transplants, and the Institute has conducted more than 19,500 single- and multi-organ transplants, establishing Pittsburgh as one of the world’s leading transplantation centers. 
• UPMC is the national leader in Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
• Hepatology research flourishes at the Pittsburgh Liver Research Center (PLRC), a P30 NIDDK Digestive Diseases Research Core Center, led by Dr. S. Paul Monga – one of only three devoted to liver disease cores in the nation.

The University of Pittsburgh is the only school within the last 50 years to break into the top 10 NIH-funded institutions.
• The CLD trains Advanced Fellows in Transplant Hepatology each year, and welcomes one of the largest Gastroenterology Fellow training programs in the U.S. with 19 trainees.
