Welcome from the Program Chairs!  We are pleased to announce that the 2026 Summer Liver Academy Meeting (formerly the biennial FASEB Liver Biology Conference) and now under the direction of the American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP) is headed back to Cape Coral, FL.  After a very successful meeting in 2024, SLAM 2026 aims to incorporate the best of our prior liver meetings, cutting-edge science, an interactive program format, and opportunities for trainees—all within a beautiful resort environment.

The program features an outstanding roster of internationally renowned speakers. See who will be presenting their cutting-edge research.
