Completed research
Since 1993, when we funded our very first research award into Antigen presentation in HBV infection, we have funded 10 pieces of work across a range of subject areas and from basic science to clinical applications. The Trust has funded across many disciplines, including hepatology and epidemiology. We have funded researchers at the start of their careers as well as leading hepatologists.Previous research projects are detailed through the links below:
