Biography:

I am very experienced scoring liver pathology liver biopsies with alcoholic hepatitis where I performed this function for many clinical trials treating alcoholic hepatitis (Dr. Mendenhall, Dr. Halsted (2 studies), Dr. Morgan (1 study).  Also I have many studies using immunohistochemical and fluorescent microscopy on liver biopsies from AH patients.  Currently I have many papers using morphometric quantitation of fluorescent intensity of protein in the liver cells of AH patients that will also be done on the current trial proposed here.
