David Bowen is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney's Central Clinical School and Centenary Institute, specializing in gastroenterology, hepatology, immunology, and transplantation. His research examines liver transplant tolerance mechanisms, hepatitis C pathogenesis, and immune responses in liver diseases.

His investigations focus on T-cell activation in hepatic environments, malaria immunity, and post-transplant complications. Key research areas include:

• Immune tolerance induction in liver transplantation
• Hepatitis C virus interactions with host immunity
• Malaria vaccine development targeting liver-resident memory T cells

Grant funding includes NHMRC projects on transplant tolerance mechanisms and malaria vaccine development. He leads studies analyzing clinical outcomes in liver transplantation and acute-on-chronic liver failure management.
