Biography
Alastair D. Burt is a hepatopathologist whose research on liver fibrosis, stellate-cell biology and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease shaped international scoring systems (including work on the SAF histological algorithm and the ELF serum fibrosis panel).

He is widely published under the spelling "Alastair"; library catalogues sometimes retain "Alistair" from early imprint metadata.
