OBJECTIVES

Understanding the PanNash Initiative

The PanNASH Initiative intends to develop and communicate new findings about NASH through publications, conferences and training sessions. It focuses on risk factors for the development of the disease, the identification of patients at risk, clinical markers and associated health risks, as well as the development of new treatments.

Specifically, the PanNASH Initiative is working to increase knowledge of the underlying pathological mechanisms of NASH ranging from metabolic disorders to fibrosis, with a focus on the modulating role in the disease played by PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors).
