Overview
Welcome

We are pleased to look back on a very succesful 2nd International Workshop on NASH Biomarkers, held in Washington, DC, USA on 5-6 May 2017.

156 delegates attended the workshop and the Organizing committee and organizers would like to thank the speakers, chairs and all participants for their contribution to this meeting! In particular we would like to thank our workshop sponsors. Without their financial contribution this workshop would not have been made possible.
