Clinical Lecturers - research
Research by some of our clinical lecturers, as they develop into independent research leaders.

GASTROENTEROLOGY
Iron in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and insulin resistance
Iron is a potentially modifiable contributor to the progression of NAFLD, the commonest cause of liver disease, and insulin resistance, which underlies the pathogenesis of the disorder.
