Curriculum Vitae
BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Robert G. Gish began his medical training in 1974 when he was enrolled into the Pharmacy
School at the University of Kansas. He transferred to the University of Kansas Medical School in
1977 and finished his MD degree in 1980.
Dr. Gish went on to complete a 3 year Internal Medicine residency at the University of California, San Diego and a 4 year Gastroenterology and Hepatology fellowship at the University of
California Los Angeles during which time he was awarded the NIH Physician Scientist Award to
study calcium signaling in liver cells.
After completing his training, Dr. Gish moved to San Francisco and took a position at the
California Pacific Medical Center (formerly known as Pacific Presbyterian Hospital). He became
the Co- Medical Director of the Liver Transplant Program in 1988 and then the Medical Director
of the Liver Transplant Program in 1994. In that role he developed an outreach program that
eventually served over 35,000 patients in the Northern California and Nevada regions, and
made the CPMC a leading liver transplant center.
Dr. Gish has had and continues to have an active research program in viral hepatitis, liver
transplant, bio artificial liver, and public policy especially related to liver cancer, liver transplantation and viral hepatitis. Although his primary research focus is clinical research, he frequently
collaborates with basic scientists in his research activities. He has published more than 500
original articles, review articles, abstracts and book chapters.
Dr. Gish is also actively involved in numerous professional societies, and is a long-term member
of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease, European Association for the Study
of Liver Disease, Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver, and the American Society
of Transplant Physicians.
He is a fellow of both the American College of Physicians and a long-term member of the
American Association for the Study of Liver Disease. Dr. Gish has served on the editorial
boards of American Journal of Gastroenterology, Journal of Hepatology, Digestive Diseases
and Sciences, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Liver Transplantation and Surgery, and Journal of
Viral Hepatitis. He has co-authored a public health policy for liver health in Vietnam and is also
assisting with the development of health care policies in Armenia and the Philippines.
In December 2010, Dr. Gish moved to San Diego to join the faculty of UCSD as a Clinical
Professor of Medicine, Section Chief of Hepatology, and Director of the Center of Excellence for
Hepatobiliary Disease and Abdominal Transplantation (C.H.A.T.).
In September of 2013, Dr. Gish left UCSD to form a consulting company, Robert G. Gish
Consultants LLC to provide consultative support to Hepatology Centers and Liver Transplant
Programs who wish to start or grow their programs through pathways of quality and optimal
patient care that is integrated with research and education. In September of 2013, Dr Gish
joined Dr Manch at St Josephs Hospital and Medical Center to start a liver and liver transplant
center which continues to be an ogoing venture. On April 1, 2014, Dr Gish joined the Stanford
Curriculum Vitae
BIOGRAPHY: Continued
Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Liver Transplant
Service Line as a Staff Physician with major roles in inreach and outreach as well as program
development. Over the years of 2012 to 2014, Dr Gish has been and continues to be very active
with the National Viral Hepatitis Round Table (NVHR) a patient and community advocacy nonprofit organization. In February of 2014, Dr Gish joined the Hepatitis B Foundation, (HBF) as their
medical director to lend his policy, advocacy and clinical science skills to their amametaium.
Today, Dr. Gish is a Clinical Professor of Medicine (Adjunct) at the University of Nevada in Las
Vegas where he continues to teach and is a senior consultant at St Josephs Medical Center in
Phoenix. And Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford University (Consultant).
LIVER CENTERS AND LIVER TRANSPLANT PROGRAMS
Dr. Gish became the Co-Medical Director of the Liver Transplant Program at the California
Pacific Medical Center in 1988. He developed an outreach program that now serves over
35,000 patients in Northern California and Nevada, making CPMC a leading liver transplant
center. Dr. Gish joined the faculty of University of California San Diego in several capacities,
including Director of the Center for Hepatobiliary Disease and Abdominal Transplantation. He
also became Director of Clinical Hepatology at UCSD in 2010. His research on Regional Review
Boards may also change public policies on liver transplants in the United States. This research
supports the replacement of the current RRB system with a national review board that uses
clinical expertise to assign priorities. The goal of this system is to allocate organs equitably while
improving compliance with the HHS Final Rule. His appointment with the Liver Transplant
Program and Department of Medicine at Stanford University began on April 30, 2014.
RESEARCH
Dr. Gishs pharmaceutical research includes a 2011 Phase III study on the effects of BI
201335, pegylated interferon-a and ribavirin on patients infected with genotype 1 chronic
hepatitis C. He is also the principle investigator in an ongoing study on screening for viral
hepatitis and its economic effects on healthcare. Another study currently being conducted by Dr.
Gish involves the analysis of liver patients at UCSD.
Dr. Gish was the principle investigator in a study that was started in 2012 to investigate the
effects of PSI-352938, PSE-7977 and Ribavirin in patients with Chronic HCV. He is also
currently investigating the challenges of educating Asians in San Diego County on Hepatitis B in
a study that began in 2012.
Dr. Gish was an investigator in studies that led to the development of tests for HBV and HCV
and most recently a 2005 study on DNA HBV genotyping and molecular profiling in newly
recruited, HBV and HCV patients. He was also an investigator in a 2006 study that used
molecular signatures to predict interferon response in patients infected with Hepatitis C.
Dr Gishs research now includes co-leading a research program with Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals on iRNA treatment of HBV infection.
Curriculum Vitae
HEALTH POLICY AND PATIENT ADVOCACY
Dr. Gish has been involved with patient care and patient advocacy groups dating back to 1988
when he became involved with the American Liver Foundation. Since that time, he has been
active with a number of organizations including the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable, Viral
Hepatitis Action Coalition, the Fair Foundation, Center for Eradication of Viral Hepatitis/Asia
Pacific Organization, HEP- DART, World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control,
Hepatitis B Free (San Francisco and San Diego), Hepatitis B Foundation, Hepatitis C Caring
Ambassadors, Viral Hepatitis Foundation, and Hepatitis Foundation for Vietnam.
Dr. Gishs international advocacy career focuses on public policy in Vietnam, Philippines, and
Armenia. His team wrote a white paper on Health Care and Liver Health in Vietnam that was
published in a peer-reviewed publication. Additional projects in Vietnam and the Philippines
include protocols that advance screening for viral hepatitis and linkage to care, as well as
global liver health issues including obesity, fatty liver, and alcohol induced liver disease. The
newest addition to Dr. Gishs global health policy work is in Armenia, where he is developing a
white paper for that countrys 5-year Liver Health Policy.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
My clinical research and studies focus on viral hepatitis, liver transplant, bioartificial liver, public
policy especially related to liver transplantation and viral hepatitis. Clinical trials for a variety of
antiviral therapies and new bioartificial livers systems will continue to be a major focus of my
practice. We will use databases to help uncover associations between liver cancer and certain
cancer biomarkers. In addition we will be building a multidisciplinary liver cancer program and
will integrate models of HCC signaling into our program. My background includes training in viral
hepatitis clinical trials and liver cancer trials. I plan to have a focus on biomarkers for liver
cancer to help guide treatment decisions and therapies. I have 25 years of experience as a
clinician and clinical investigator in the realm of liver disease, liver transplant and liver cancer. I
do a variety of educational programs for Pharma including promotional talks that are highly
regulated by the FDA and the Pharma Code: these funds are all recycled into research,
education, policy, philanthropy and supporting international health care.
EXPANDED RESEARCH
Dr. Gishs work focuses on the epidemiology of liver disease, biomarkers for liver disease and
multi-targeted therapies for liver cancer such as protein kinase inhibitors, fibroblast growth
factors and iRNA technologies to treat viral hepatitis. His research also includes the diagnosis
and treatment of liver failure, liver transplantation, and viral hepatitis, both B and C variants.
Recent clinical studies have focused on the Hepatitis B Virus within the Asian population at
large as well as exosomes, liver failure, bioartifical livers and international health policy.

and has extensive experience in the conduct of clinical trials of new drugs to combat chronic
hepatitis B. His leadership as medical director will help us advance the treatment and prevent
the severe consequences of this potentially deadly disease. After receiving his medical degree
in 1980, Dr. Gish quickly developed a keen interest in liver health, focusing his research on
investigation of viral hepatitis B and C. He went on to become medical director of the liver
transplant program at California Pacific Medical Center in 1994, developing an outreach
program that eventually served more than 35,000 patients in northern California and Nevada
and made the medical center a leading liver transplant center. Over the course of his career, Dr.
Gish has published more than 600 original articles, abstracts and book chapters and more than

RESEARCH SUMMARY
In his historical roles as Co-Director of the Center for Hepatobiliary Disease and Abdominal
Transplantation and Chief of Clinical Hepatology, Dr. Gish was both overseeing and personally
participating in cutting edge research on viral hepatitis, liver transplant, bio-artificial liver, and
liver cancer. He is currently working to expand clinical trials for a variety of antiviral therapies
(including the latest-generation therapies for hepatitis B and for hepatitis C), end-stage liver
disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and new bio-artificial liver systems. He was also directing the
development of a state-of-the-art biorepository to support future scientific investigation. Under
his direction, UCSD researchers are using databases to help uncover associations between
liver cancer and certain cancer biomarkers that may ultimately help to guide treatment decisions
and choice of therapies. He is currently working toward building a multidisciplinary liver cancer
program that will include models of HCC signaling. Dr. Gish has an extensive background in
viral hepatitis clinical trials and liver cancer trials, with a quarter century of experience as a
clinical investigator on many aspects of liver disease, liver transplant and liver cancer.
In addition, Dr. Gish is actively involved, both nationally and internationally, in shaping public
policy that relates to liver transplantation and viral hepatitis screening, vaccination, and
treatment that should ultimately have an impact on liver cancer rates in the region, nationally
and internationally. He recently developed and published a five-year plan for a comprehensive
approach to liver disease in Viet Nam, a country that has a very high prevalence of liver disease
due to the high prevalence of chronic infection with hepatitis B (12%) and C (at least 2%) along
with heavy alcohol consumption by men, but which to date has had no nationwide approach to
the disease and no systematic screening of at-risk individuals. The program that Dr. Gish
developed in collaboration with colleagues in Viet Nam, Australia, and the United States
includes nationwide education for healthcare providers, health educators, and the public;
expansion of nationwide screening for hepatitis B and C followed by HBV vaccination or
treatment of chronic HBV and/or HCV; education about alcoholic liver disease; long-term
surveillance for liver cancer; and reduction of infection transmission related to medical,
commercial, and personal re-use of contaminated needles, syringes, sharp instruments, razors,
and inadequately sterilized medical equipment. The program has already received the full
support of the Vietnamese government and several other countries have now expressed
interest in working with Dr. Gish to develop similar programs. He is currently working on
development of a liver program for Armenia. Dr. Gish has lectured in China, Viet Nam, and a
dozen other countries, and has ongoing long-term research collaborations with colleagues in
Australia, Japan, Viet Nam and China.
In addition, Dr. Gish is currently working in collaboration with the Asian Pacific Health Foundation on development of a major hepatitis B and C screening program in the greater San Diego
area with the goal of ultimately screening at least 10,000 individuals, followed by provision of
vaccination and linkage to care, as appropriate. As part of this program, cutting edge research
on the use of point-of-care rapid results testing for both hepatitis B and C will be carried out. A
unique aspect of this program will be the integration of viral hepatitis screening with broadbased healthcare screening for other disease states such as metabolic syndrome both of which
are leading causes of liver cancer.

RESEARCH SUMMARY: Continued

Dr. Gish is also involved in important research that could help effect changes in public policy on
liver transplant in the United States. His research on the inconsistencies among Regional
Review Boards (RRBs) in the assignment of points for MELD/PELD exception patients has
shown a large, highly significant regional variation in denial rates for appeals by these patients.
This variation gives strong support for replacing the current RRB system with an alternate
system, one important possibility for which would be a national review board that would use
current clinical knowledge, expertise, peer review literature, expert opinion and data to assign
priority on a consistent basis, thus reducing regional inequities and moving toward the goal of
equitable allocation of organs and further compliance with the HHS Final Rule.
