Episode 6 – Hepatitis Research Today
So good to have you back with us for Episode 6 of Gastro News. And we’ve got a real treat in store for you this time. If you can remember back to Episode 1, you’ll know that we’ve already dipped our toes in the world of viral hepatitis with Dr Matthew Cowan. And if you missed that one, please go back and have a listen to it! But now we’re going to take that topic one step further, and look at the cutting-edge research being done into hepatitis today.
It’s such a privilege to have an expert in this field join us today, to help us grasp more of why research into viral hepatitis is so important and so relevant for the patients we might encounter in our outpatient clinics and on our wards. Prof Sumita Verma is a hepatologist and clinical academic at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. She has a real passion for seeing better, broader research done into viral hepatitis, and she firmly believes that with active case-finding in vulnerable people groups hepatitis C can be eliminated within our lifetime.
During our chat we touch on everything from Professor Verma’s university days in India, to her thoughts on the pros and cons of the American Health system, as well as hearing her hopes for the future of hepatology. If you have any questions or comments after listening, please drop us an email at medregnews@gmail.com or find us on Twitter @medregnews. It’s been great having your company throughout this series, and we hope to see you soon!
