ILBS holds a very good internal academic program. Every Monday, there is a presentation by a faculty member, where various protocols, new research protocols are discussed. In addition, every Thursday, the Residents and students from various departments present and discuss interesting clinical cases. Clinico-Pathological Conference (CPC) is conducted on last Thursday of every month. Besides, there are lectures by visiting faculties from various International Institutes throughout the year. Also, various CME/conferences are organized at ILBS. Various events such as Hepatitis Day, World Kidney Day, World Hepatitis Day, Liver Transplant Oration, Foundation Day are celebrated during the year. The faculty also participates in various national and international conferences to update their skills. There is pre-clinical teaching and demonstration to students and interns.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES:
At ILBS, faculty is encouraged to participate in research activity and promote research in all branches, whether clinical, para-clinical and basic sciences. Research Department has developed the state-of-art facilities in the areas of stem cell research, proteomics, RNA technology and metabolomics for bio-marker discovery program. The research is funded by extramural grants from various national and international agencies with joint collaborations. ILBS encourages both basic and clinical research.
- Basic Research
Research relating to basic and applied sciences concerning Hepatology, hepato biiary surgery, virology, molecular biology, physiology, immunology are being promoted. The basic research at ILBS now extends to translational areas including regenerative medicine and bio-designing, pharmacogenomics, including basic research in vertical transmission of hepatitis B during pregnancy, Pharmacogenomics, Proteiomics and Metabolomics. ILBS has established a stem cell laboratory and “ILVS-NIH Laboratory of Molecular Immunology”.
- Clinical Research
The clinical research facility at ILBS conducts multi-centric, global, complex clinical trials of new therapies, molecules to meet the unmet needs of medical sciences. ILBS carries out of clinical trials in various areas like drug trials, in-house and those involving national and international projects.
