Willem Pieter Brouwer

Willem Pieter Brouwer is a Researcher at Erasmus MC's Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, focusing on advanced liver disease research. His work addresses chronic hepatitis B, liver fibrosis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and the interplay between metabolic disorders and viral infections. He has contributed to 64 peer-reviewed publications, including studies on diagnostic accuracy of liver stiffness assessment and global epidemiology of liver diseases.

Key research interests include the molecular mechanisms of liver disease progression, non-invasive diagnostic tools, and the impact of obesity on liver pathology. Collaborations span global institutions, addressing public health implications of viral and metabolic liver diseases. His studies often employ systematic reviews and meta-analyses to synthesize large-scale epidemiological data.
