Funded Activity Summary

This project seeks to develop a new point-of-care test to detect hepatitis C virus infections. This will enable the diagnosis and initiation of curative treatment in a single healthcare visit. It is expected that this will overcome a major barrier to treating high-risk groups with these highly effective medications and will lead to higher number of cured patients.
