Hepatitis C Research

Hepatitis C research aims to understand and develop better ways to prevent, detect, and treat the virus that causes hepatitis C, a liver infection. Scientists study how the virus works, how it spreads, and why some treatments succeed while others don’t. Recent advances include highly effective antiviral medications that can cure most people. Ongoing research also focuses on vaccine development and strategies to eliminate the virus globally. Overall, efforts are driven by improving patient outcomes, reducing transmission, and eventually eradicating hepatitis C as a public health threat.
