    Tackling Racial Disparities in HCV Care: Global Edition

    Tackling Racial Disparities in HCV Care: Global Edition

    In this episode, Prof Ashley Brown, BSc, MD, FRCP, and Ahmed M. Elsharkawy, PhD, FRCP(UK), discuss key racial inequities of care that lead to undertreatment for migrant populations and other racial minorities globally with or at risk for hepatitis C.

    Topics include:

    • HCV Burden and Care Disparities in Specific Populations
    • Genotypes and Length of Infection in Ethnic Minorities
    • Primary Care Education and System-Related Barriers
    • Solutions to Overcome Barriers to HCV Care
    • First-hand Patient Stories

    Hepatitis C vaccine

    Hepatitis C vaccine
    Dr Ellie Barnes talks about her research on Hepatitis C and her work on a T cell vaccine. Dr Ellie Barnes aims to develop a prophylactic and a therapeutic hepatitis C virus vaccine to combat a global epidemic currently infecting 170 million people worldwide. Many chronically infected patients silently develop complications of liver disease that can include hepatocellular cancer, liver cirrhosis and liver failure.

    Hepatitis C vaccine
    Dr Ellie Barnes talks about her research on Hepatitis C and her work on a T cell vaccine. Hepatitis C virus is a global epidemic, affecting around 200 million people worldwide. Many chronically infected patients silently develop complications of liver disease that can include hepatocellular cancer, liver cirrhosis and liver failure. Unlike other vaccines, inducing antibody reactions to Hepatitis C is often ineffective because antibodies only target the outer surface of the virus. To combat this Dr Ellie Barnes is developing a new therapeutic vaccine for this damaging virus.

    Viruses, how to be the perfect host

    Viruses, how to be the perfect host
    Professor Paul Klenerman talks about our relationship with persistent viruses, such as Hepatitis C. Prof. Paul Klenerman studies the evolutionary relationships between persistent viruses and their human hosts. He aims to understand the role of our immune responses in determining the outcome of Hepatitis C virus infection. Hepatitis C virus infects around 200 million people worldwide and is a major cause of liver disease.
