Research profile

Hila investigates GLP-2 signaling in multicellular liver spheroids and its relationship to steatosis and hepatic stellate-cell biology.

Her master’s project uses three-dimensional models to examine metabolic liver disease. The current focus is thesis and figure revision.

Research areas

  • GLP-2 signaling in liver models
  • Hepatocyte–stellate-cell interactions
  • Steatosis and metabolic liver disease
  • Three-dimensional spheroid models
