Center membership is open to any faculty-level investigator at UCSF or a neighboring institution who has a research interest in liver biology or disease. Membership offers scientific community in the form of seminars and workshops, access to core services and eligibility for special Center funding opportunities.
Categories of Membership
Full Membership
Full membership requires active participation in funded research focusing on the liver or a biological process directly relevant to the liver. Full members must have PI status on a liver or otherwise related research grant. Recipients of career development awards (“K” or equivalent) are eligible for Full membership.
Associate Membership
Associate membership requires active participation in liver-related research but does not include a prerequisite for research funding relevant to the liver. Recipients of Liver Center Pilot/Feasibility awards are automatically granted Associate membership for three years.
Trainees
Trainees do not have official membership status, but they are encouraged to participate in Center activities in conjunction with their faculty mentors. Trainees in transition to faculty positions are eligible to apply for Liver Center Pilot/Feasibility awards.
