Research

Lab research on hepatitis C Lab research on hepatitis C

Mayo Clinic researchers are studying ways the hepatitis C virus may respond to treatment.

Mayo Clinic doctors and researchers are studying new ways to diagnose and treat hepatitis C, with particular emphasis on optimal antiviral therapy before and after liver transplant. Immunologists and virologists also are working on making a hepatitis C vaccine.

Another area of research is cell transplant. This involves putting liver cells, cells much like liver cells or stem cells through a vein into the liver or into a blood vessel to repair liver damage.

Hepatitis C

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
