Research Projects
The Foundation funds research within its own purpose-built research centre, the Institute of Hepatology in central London.
Research in the Institute is organised around major research projects within the common overall theme of Liver Cell Injury and Repair. We currently have projects underway in the following areas:-
- Host Immune Responses during Hepatitis B and C
- Cell Growth and Proliferation in Normal and Diseased States
- Epigenetics in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
- Inflammation and Liver Fibrosis in Disease Progression
- Metabonomic and Proteomic Studies
- Targeted Gene Therapy Delivery for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (in conjunction with the UCL Cancer Institute)
- Alcohol and Drug-induced Hepatotoxicity
- Susceptibility to Infection in Liver Failure (in conjunction with King's College Hospital)
