Research leaders in new hepatitis C treatment

Our hepatologists have been involved from the earliest stages in researching new treatments for viral hepatitis C — a disease that affects about 3.2 million Americans.

These medications — known asdirect-acting anti-virals (DAAs) — are now in use, resulting in higher cure rates of hepatitis C.
