As a tertiary liver centre we have a responsibility to advance this research and to train the next generation of hepatologists.

He then took up an MRC research fellowship at Kings College Hospital in London, England and, in 1989, was recruited to the University of Alberta. 

Dr. Bain is medical director of the Liver Transplant Program which is a major referral centre for patients with hepatobiliary diseases. The U of A Liver Transplant Program’s team performs 70 to 90 liver transplants annually and has performed over 1800 since program inception in 1989.
