Dr. Bansal joined the faculty at Mount Sinai in 2001 after
completing Gastroenterology Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. In
2002 she became the Transplant Hepatology Fellowship Director, leading one of
the largest transplant hepatology fellowships in the United States. While
remaining clinically active, she has also developed an NIH-funded basic
research program focusing on understanding underlying molecular mechanisms of
liver fibrosis/cirrhosis in an effort to develop novel anti-fibrotic
therapies. Her current research interests focus on how HIV may promote
hepatic inflammation and fibrosis as well as novel treatments for Non-Alcoholic
Steatohepatitis (NASH). She became the Director of Translational Research in
the Division of Liver Diseases in 2013 and is the principal investigator in a
number of clinical trials for the treatment of Hepatitis C and NASH. Since 2015
she has also served as the Chief Medical Officer of Mount Sinai Care LLC and
Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Mount Sinai Health Partners, the population
health platform the entire Mount Sinai Health System. In this latter role, Dr. Bansal has the
opportunity to translate findings from research/clinical trials to address
population health needs in an ever-changing healthcare landscape.

Summary of Research Studies: Brief Biosketch and Research Interests Dr. Bansal joined the faculty at Mount Sinai in 2001 after completing Gastroenterology Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2002 she became the Hepatology Fellowship Director, leading one of the largest hepatology fellowships in the United States. While remaining clinically active, she has also developed an NIH-funded basic research program focusing on understanding underlying molecular mechanisms of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis in an effort to develop novel anti-fibrotic therapies. Her research interests focus on the role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in liver fibrosis and regeneration and Role of the chemokine receptors, CXCR4 and CCR5, on stellate cell biology and fibrogenesis. The latter has great implications in understanding mechanism of HCV- and HIV/HCV-induced liver disease.

Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).
Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.
Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Below are financial relationships with industry reported by Dr. Bansal during 2022 and/or 2023. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
