Our Map
Outcomes of the project
Outcomes for medical experts
The project aims at proposing a treatment paradigm shift with the development of novel combination therapies for CHB with improved cure rates and a better appraisal of novel biomarkers to improve patient selection for treatment and monitoring treatment response.
Outcomes for patient
The project aims at designing and developing novel treatment strategies towards the cure of infection with shorter duration of treatment. It is expected to result in improved quality of life and decreased social stigma.
Outcomes for community
The development of such curative therapies with finite duration of administration will pave the way towards universal treatment of all individuals that suffer from chronic HBV infection. It is thus expected to result in long-term reduction in cost and global burden of CHB (short-term therapy, increased treatment uptake in the infected population, decreased rate of liver complications and mortality).
