Description

The Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) is the largest charitable funder of liver research in Canada and is proud to be able to support Canada’s top liver experts as well as promising new investigators and trainees who will carry on this country’s research legacy. We support Canadians living with liver disease and their caregivers by answering questions after diagnosis, help understand the disease, and providing individuals and their supports with the resources they need. Through our Peer Support Network, we also connect you with others who have gone through the same experience. Our investments support the 1 in 4 Canadians who may be affected by liver disease, and many do not even know it. Liver disease can take over 100 different forms and can be caused by a variety of factors including genetics, obesity, viruses, toxins, drugs, alcohol and problems with the immune system. Liver diseases affect children, women and men with equal and sometimes fatal consequences. Tragically, by the time liver disease is detected, it is often too late as severe liver damage has already occurred. This is why we are bringing liver research to life. To date, CLF has invested over $38 million to foster advances in research, education, patient support and advocacy. With the help of volunteers, patients and families, researchers, doctors, donors, and corporate supporters who share our vision of a world without liver disease, we are bringing liver research to life.
