The InFLiMeN initiative will address non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Which can turn into cirrhosis and primary liver cancer. NAFLD is often preceded by other serious conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

The network is a collaborative effort of ILBS Director Shiv Kumar Sarin and Department of Science and Technology (DST) Secretary Abhay Karandikar. This initiative aims to understand and manage liver diseases through a comprehensive omics approach for biomarker discovery.
