Mission
To advance and disseminate the science and practice of hepatology, and to promote liver health and quality patient care AASLD is the leading organization of scientists and healthcare professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease. AASLD was founded in 1950 by a small group of leading liver specialists to bring together those who had contributed to the field of hepatology.
