The fundamental concept underlying Dr. Heller’s research is that human disease can serve as a window into broad biological processes, the understanding of which could, in turn, lead to treatments for these and other diseases. The research aims of the group include:

  1. To develop understanding of the clinical syndrome of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, in particular Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia and Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis.
  2. To study the biological processes underlying the development of hepatic regeneration leading to Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia and by extension portal hypertension.
  3. To study aspects of viral hepatitis that allow insight into disease mechanisms.
