Marisa da Fonseca Ferreira	The influence of cholangiocyte senescence and its senescence-associated secretory phenotype on hepatocyte to cholangiocyte differentiation	marisa.ferreira@ed.ac.uk	Marisa's PhD is focused on the influence of cholangiocyte senescence and its senescence-associated secretory phenotype on hepatocyte to cholangiocyte differentiation. Marisa is also interested in all aspects of canine and feline internal medicine, although particularly enjoys liver diseases, immune-mediated diseases, vector-borne diseases and interventional radiology and endoscopy.
