Richard Green

Richard Green, MD is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. He maintains clinical practice at Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Galter Pavilion and serves as Scientific Advisory Board Chair for PSCPartners Seeking a Cure since 2012.

His educational background includes a BA (1982) and MD (1986) from Duke University, residency at Northwestern University's McGaw Medical Center, and fellowship at Brigham & Women's Hospital. He holds board certifications in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology from the American Board of Internal Medicine.

Dr. Green's research centers on liver pathobiology with emphasis on biliary diseases, macrophage immunology, and molecular mechanisms of cholestasis. His work integrates cell biology, genetics, and metabolism to investigate therapeutic targets for genetic liver disorders using murine models and advanced genomic techniques. Current projects explore ER stress responses, bile duct development, and tissue engineering solutions for liver regeneration.

His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a cohesive research trajectory in translational hepatology, featuring macrophage heterogeneity studies in biliary atresia, IRE1α-mediated kidney injury mechanisms, and decellularized matrix applications for bile duct reconstruction. These works consistently employ cutting-edge methodologies including single-cell sequencing and sophisticated murine disease models.

He maintains active affiliations with Northwestern's Center for Diabetes and Metabolism, Center for Genetic Medicine, Comprehensive Transplant Center, Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, and Simpson Querrey Institute for Epigenetics.
