Research Roundtable Meeting @ Hyatt Regency (Aurora I & II)
The Research Roundtable Meeting is designed for all stakeholders (patients, families, researchers, clinicians, and industry) to come together for a broad discussion of patient research priorities followed by working group discussions on specific topics. Each working group must consist of patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and industry (biotech/pharma) representatives. These discussions are meant to deepen the connections with stakeholder groups leading to increased knowledge and potential paths forward to meet the research needs in cholestatic liver disease as well as PFIC, Biliary Atresia, and Alagille Syndrome as specific disease states.
