We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, ages 18-65, who have obesity with a body mass index of 30-45…
The primary objective of this study is to determine if an HIV-infected donor liver (HIVD+) transplant is safe with regards to major transplant-related and HIV-related complications. This study will evaluate if receiving a liver transplant from an HIV-infected deceased …
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin…
The primary objective is to evaluate long-term outcomes in transplant recipients with HIV who receive livers from donors with HIV compared to donors without HIV. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (TCRC).

Insulin is the main hormone (chemical signal) that the body uses to lower the levels of sugar in the blood. We are interested in looking at insulin levels because we think that lowering insulin levels may…
We are recruiting healthy volunteers, aged 18-65, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone,…
This study is looking at hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in adults 18 to 70 years of age living with HIV around the world. Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that affects the liver and is transmitted through blood and body fluids. A vaccine (a shot of medicine given through a needle) can prevent HBV, but there is no…
