It’s #WorldHepatitisDay, which seeks to raise global awareness of viral hepatitis.
Charles Rice, Ralf Bartenschlager, and Michael Sofia won the 2016 Clinical Medical Research Lasker Award for developing a system to study the replication of the virus that causes hepatitis C and used this system to revolutionize the treatment of this chronic, often lethal disease. ❤️🩹
🎥 In this episode of “We Ask a Scientist,” Rice recounts his 25-year journey studying hepatitis C virus to develop a cure for hepatitis C infections: youtu.be/EiSVTJZrwGc

ALT Louise Pearce, MD, was an American pathologist who helped develop a treatment for African sleeping sickness.
ALT Pearce earned her MD from Johns Hopkins in 1912 and then joined the Rockefeller Institute as its first woman researcher.
ALT In the 1920s, she traveled to the Belgian Congo to test the effectiveness of the drug tryparsamide as a treatment for African sleeping sickness.
ALT Tryparsamide became the standard treatment for sleeping sickness for decades and saved countless lives.

Tens of millions live with permanent disability after brain injuries such as stroke, disease, or aging. Current therapies help people cope but cannot restore lost brain function.
The BRAINS Exploratory Topic aims to advance regenerative neuroscience by engineering graftable precursor tissues and testing their integration into adult brains.

It was a honor to receive The Edwin C. Whitehead Award for Medical Research Advocacy from @ResearchAmerica!
Medical research is fundamental to our nation’s strength, and I am proud to be a partner as we fuel American innovation that opens doors for funding cures.

Right now, it can take decades for breakthroughs to reach patients. A fragmented research system slows progress and leaves too many families without answers.
ARPA-H is working to change that.
We launched IGoR, a new program built to rethink how research happens. By connecting labs, enabling AI driven discovery, and making experiments faster and more reproducible, IGoR is designed to accelerate progress on even the most devastating complex and chronic diseases.
At ARPA-H, we are not just funding ideas. We are building the systems that move them forward faster. Learn more: arpa-h.gov/news-and-events/a…
