Biography
In his research, Mehta examines liver cancer treatment, particularly as related to liver transplants. He has contributed to important publications in this area. His other research interests include outcomes for patients who undergo liver transplantation and cardiac iron overload in patients with chronic liver disease. He frequently lectures in the community and at the university on these subjects.
At the UCSF School of Medicine, Mehta supervises the training of residents as well as fellows in both gastroenterology and liver transplant medicine. He also delivers lectures on liver disease to UCSF medical students studying metabolism and nutrition.
Mehta earned his medical degree at UCSF and completed a residency in internal medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed fellowships in gastroenterology and liver transplantation at UCSF.

Research Narrative
Dr. Mehta is engaged in research investigating clinical outcomes in patients with end-stage liver disease. His research focuses on two main areas:
- Understanding issues related to the diagnosis and management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) particularly with regards to outcomes in liver transplantation. Specific topics we are currently interested in are evaluating the risk of HCC recurrence post-transplant based on transplant waiting times, creating an HCC recurrence risk score, and downstaging tumors in to conventional transplant criteria.
- Understanding the role of iron overload in patients listed for liver transplant, specifically with regards to both hepatic and cardiac iron deposition.
Mr. Mehta is also conducting research related to the diagnosis and management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) particularly with regards to outcomes in liver transplantation.This includes a multicenter project with CPMC and Scripps to understand the role of downstaging tumors into conventional transplant criteria. He is also pursuing projects to address the risk of HCC recurrence post-transplant based on transplant waiting times as well as to create an HCC recurrence risk score. These projects are being done collaboratively with the Mayo clinic in Rochester and Jacksonville.
Dr. Mehta is also pursuing research to help optimize the management of iron overload in patients listed for liver transplant, specifically with regards to both hepatic and cardiac iron deposition.
