A Comprehensive Guide to Rodent Models of Liver Diseases

Dr. Savneet Kaur is an Associate Professor and Scientist-in-charge of the Animal House Facility in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine, Institute of liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), New Delhi. She specializes in experimental hepatology and vascular biology. Her lab in ILBS focuses on investigating the role of blood and lymphatic endothelial cells in liver physiology and pathophysiology. Dr. Savneet has worked on several animal models of liver regeneration and diseases and has authored more than 70 papers in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters.

Dr. Dinesh M Tripathi is an Associate Professor in ILBS, specializing in portal hypertension, liver physiology, pathophysiology, and hepatic vascular disorders. His lab’s focus is on analyzing hepatic hemodynamics and micro-circulatory dysfunctions in small animal models of liver diseases. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Hepatic Hemodynamic Laboratory, IDIBAPS, Hospital Clinic de Barcelona, University of Barcelona, Spain, where he developed and characterized several novel pre-clinical models of advanced liver diseases and portal hypertension. He has been trained for animal experimentation in University of Barcelona, Spain.
