The Tytgat Institute for Liver and Intestinal Research is one of the main pre-clinical departments affiliated with AGEM. Prof. Ulrich Beuers and Prof Stan van de Graaf, who are both part of the Tytgat institute, have recently received pretigious awards!
Stan, head of the Tytgat Institute, leads a group of scientists studying cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases. Stan received the Distinguished Hepatologist Award at the Dutch Digestive Disease Days, from its Dutch counterpart, NASL or Nederlandse Vereniging voor Hepatologie.
Ulrich Beuers received the Recognition Award at #EASLCongress 2025, which honours his outstanding contributions to hepatology and the European Association for the Study of the Liver, EASL.
Ulrich, now emeritus professor, performs scientific research in the Tytgat Institute on chronic cholestatic and immune-mediated liver diseases—including primary biliary cholangitis, sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and IgG4-related cholangitis.
"Ulrich is a man of great integrity and honesty who has made an enormously significant impact, both on the hepatology community and also on so many people," Prof. JesĂşs Banales spoke these warm words during the award presentation.
