Mount Sinai's worldwide reputation as the center for treatment and research on liver diseases began in 1957 when Hans Popper, MD, joined the faculty. A founding member of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the International Association for the Study of the Liver, Dr. Popper is widely referred to as the "Father of Hepatology." From these auspicious beginnings, Mount Sinai has become an international leader.
