From April 24-26, 2025, liver experts from all over the world came together to discuss cutting-edge liver research at the Falk Foundation Symposium 240 Experimental Hepatology Days in Lyon, France. The program was split into two sections: Part A focused on hepatic injury, inflammation, and immunology, while Part B addressed regeneration, fibrosis, and carcinogenesis. Both sections featured keynote lectures, talks, panel discussions, and poster pitches sessions - fostering lively scientific exchange. Among the many highlights, we proudly celebrate the achievements of the poster award winners:
