Who we are

The CASL Liver Transplant Interest Group is open to all CASL clinicians and investigators interested in liver transplantation. Interested CASL members should contact the point person at their institution (see below) for further information.

  • Discuss other transplant related issues of common interest

Ongoing Projects

  • Efficacy of Sofosbuvir-based antiviral therapy in recurrent hepatitis C after liver transplantation – a pan-Canadian observational study
