Biography
Wajahat Mehal MD, DPhil, is Professor of Medicine in Digestive Diseases, and Director of the Yale Fatty Liver Disease Program and the Yale Metabolic Health and Weight Loss Program.
He cares for patients with all liver diseases in the outpatient and inpatient setting, and particularly focuses on the areas of non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease. He is also trained in obesity medicine and endobariatrics, managing patients by providing the full range of weight loss interventions, which include nutrition, medications, meal replacement, endobariatrics, and referrals to bariatric surgery.
In addition, he has an active NIH-funded translational research program in the areas of inflammation and fibrosis.

Biography
Wajahat Mehal MD, DPhil, is Professor of Medicine in Digestive Diseases, and Director of the Yale Fatty Liver Disease Program and the Yale Metabolic Health and Weight Loss Program.
He cares for patients with all liver diseases in the outpatient and inpatient setting, and particularly focuses on the areas of non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease. He is also trained in obesity medicine and endobariatrics, managing patients by providing the full range of weight loss interventions, which include nutrition, medications, meal replacement, endobariatrics, and referrals to bariatric surgery.
In addition, he has an active NIH-funded translational research program in the areas of inflammation and fibrosis.
