Robert Schwabe is a leading expert in liver pathobiology, whose research has reshaped our understanding of how chronic liver injury leads to fibrosis and cancer. His work on hepatic stellate cells has revealed their role in liver regeneration, metabolism, and immune signaling, and how they shape the tumor microenvironment. Schwabe’s development of genetic models has identified new targets for antifibrotic and anticancer therapies, advancing the field of liver disease treatment.
