Local and Global Studies to Investigate Associations Between Risk Factors and Disease, as Well as to Evaluate Treatment Outcomes
Our research team is leading key projects to advance the understanding and management of liver and gastrointestinal diseases in the Kingdom. These include the liver cancer registry to collect comprehensive data on disease patterns, causes, and future prevention strategies. In addition, the team is studying fatty liver disease to assess its prevalence and identify lifestyle-related risk factors. We also lead a global initiative focused on liver diseases, examining risk factors, and improving patients’ quality of life. Furthermore, the team employs advanced artificial intelligence technologies to develop more accurate methods for the early detection of colorectal cancer, helping to increase opportunities for effective treatment and recovery.
