Their work includes contributions to surgery, hepatology, molecular biology, immunology, and epidemiology. Most of their publications address key topics such as liver physiology and pathology, organ transplantation techniques and outcomes, liver disease diagnosis and treatment, liver disease and transplantation, pancreatic function and diabetes, immune cells in cancer, and drug-induced hepatotoxicity and protection.

Frequent publication venues for Stuart J. Forbes include the Journal of Hepatology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cell Stem Cell, Hepatology, and npj Regenerative Medicine. They have published 17 papers in the Journal of Hepatology, 9 in bioRxiv, and 4 each in Cell Stem Cell, Hepatology, and npj Regenerative Medicine.

Among their recent papers are:

  • Building consensus on definition and nomenclature of hepatic, pancreatic, and biliary organoids (2021) published in Cell Stem Cell
  • Liver regeneration and inflammation: from fundamental science to clinical applications (2021) published in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
  • Alternatively activated macrophages promote resolution of necrosis following acute liver injury (2020) published in Journal of Hepatology
  • Cellular senescence inhibits renal regeneration after injury in mice, with senolytic treatment promoting repair (2021) published in Science Translational Medicine
  • Cell therapy for advanced liver diseases: Repair or rebuild (2020) published in Journal of Hepatology

Stuart J. Forbes has collaborated frequently with several co-authors including Sofía Ferreira-González, Alastair M. Kilpatrick, Victoria L. Gadd, Rhona Aird, and Tak Yung Man.

Recognition of their professional contributions includes being awarded the title of Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2016.
