Anna M. Banc-Husu, MD, MSCI

Dr. Banc-Husu is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics within the Section of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and a Transplant Hepatologist at Texas Children’s Hospital. She cares for infants and children with liver transplants and with a variety of liver diseases including: biliary atresia; idiopathic neonatal hepatitis; progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC); Alagille syndrome; fatty liver disease; and numerous other rare liver disorders. As a clinician, she believes that patients and their families are at the center of each medical decision. Her philosophy of care is to provide the best care for her patients by incorporating research-informed clinical care, by collaborating with multi-disciplinary experts, and most importantly, by demonstrating empathy and compassion in every conversation and decision. She is a clinician-scientist with research interests in the critical care of children with liver disease. Her research focuses on the role of the immune system in the development of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and how to better improve the multi-disciplinary management of children in the intensive care unit to improve patient outcomes before and after liver transplantation.
