Neil Mehta, MD

Associate Professor

Dr. Neil Mehta is a gastroenterologist and specialist in liver transplantation.

In his research, Mehta examines liver cancer treatment, particularly as related to liver transplants. He has contributed to important publications in this area. His other research interests include outcomes for patients who undergo liver transplantation and cardiac iron overload in patients with chronic liver disease. He frequently lectures in the community and at the university on these subjects.

At the UCSF School of Medicine, Mehta supervises the training of residents as well as fellows in both gastroenterology and liver transplant medicine. He also delivers lectures on liver disease to UCSF medical students studying metabolism and nutrition.

Mehta earned his medical degree at UCSF and completed a residency in internal medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed fellowships in gastroenterology and liver transplantation at UCSF.
