Funded Activity Summary

Liver diseases associated with Hepatitis C, including liver failure and liver cancer, are now the leading indication for liver transplantation globally. However, the virus re-infects the new liver and eventually results in scarring and liver failure. This work aims to understand the role of the immune response to the virus in this liver damage, thus allowing modification of existing treatments and development of new therapies that will lead to improved outcomes for these individuals.
