Biography

Sharad Wadhwani is a pediatric hepatologist and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Wadhwani’s research interests are at the intersection of pediatric hepatology, population health, and health systems improvement. His work has been funded by the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease, the Starzl Network for Excellence in Pediatric Transplantation, and the NIH. He is the principal investigator of the NIH-funded, multi-center SOCIAL-Tx study that seeks to better understand how the social determinants of health, that is-where we live, learn, work, and play, impact outcomes for children undergoing liver transplant and how we can use such knowledge to improve outcomes after transplant. Father to two young children, in his spare time Dr. Wadhwani is usually playing outdoors, cooking, or listening to the “Sing 2” soundtrack—again.
