Tri-Institutional Hepatitis-C Center Established

WCM placeholder

The first Center for the Study of Hepatitis C in the Northeast region has been jointly established by The Rockefeller University, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College—with a grant from the Greenberg Medical Research Foundation. The Center's unique strength lies in its interdisciplinary approach to investigating the hepatitis-C virus (HCV), combining basic research in molecular and cellular biology with clinical studies. The Center will be led by renowned virologist Charles Rice, Ph.D., of The Rockefeller University, and distinguished hepatologist Ira Jacobson, M.D., of Weill Cornell and NewYork-Presbyterian.
