RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Jean Dubuisson is studying the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Basic knowledge of the HCV life cycle is needed to better combat the deadly pathogen. Dubuisson is analyzing this life cycle during multiple stages of HCV development, which may speed the development of improved antiviral drugs targeting HCV entry.
