Phillipp Hartmann, M.D., M.A.S., D.A.B.O.M

Bio

After completing medical school at the University of Regensburg in Germany, Dr. Hartmann carried out his postgraduate training at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Rady Children's Hospital San Diego.

Dr. Hartmann is a physician-scientist and currently an Assistant Professor in Pediatrics at UCSD and attending at Rady Children’s. His clinical focus is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and steatohepatitis (MASLD/MASH), formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH).

His research focuses on the role of the intestinal microbiome in various liver diseases, including MASLD and MASH. He has received multiple awards and grants from the National Institutes of Health and foundations, including the prestigious Pinnacle Award in Liver Diseases from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) among others. He is serving on various national committees and editorial boards of scientific journals. His primary goal is to develop better and more personalized treatment approaches to cure MASLD/MASH and other liver diseases.

He is an avid soccer player and aspiring surfer.
