Our team

The team consists of many stakeholders in the medical and surgical treatments specific to pediatric liver diseases, which is why the HUG has been recognized at the national level as the reference center for hepatobiliary diseases in children.

Prof. Barbara Wildhaber, Chief Medical Officer of the Pediatric Surgery Division and Prof. Valérie McLin, Attending Physician in the Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Pediatric Nutrition Unit are the two managers of the Center.
