21.01.2022 Congratulations to Professor Gregory Dore, who’s world-leading research on antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus has been recognised by the prestigious 2020 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes for Infectious Diseases Research. Although this is an individual award, our fabulous team in the Viral Hepatitis Clinical Research Program is what drives the research and makes it so enjoyable. I am also incredibly appreciative for the partnership, support and trust of Australia’s hepatitis C affected communities, particularly people who inject drugs, he said.
