Research
We are in a unique position to collaborate with many different divisions in the Mount Sinai Hospital to obtain tissue from HCV-positive patients undergoing liver transplantation. Our objectives are to measure intrahepatic HCV dsRNA levels, degree of fibrosis, intrahepatic leukocyte populations, and portal vein blood cell populations and cytokines. We are in the process of studying the effect of the innate immune system on liver disease.
