Treating Hepatitis B - A New Breakthrough

Some time ago our club donated $5000 to the Doherty Institute to assist with research into treatment for Hepatitis B. Speaking to us last week, Professor Peter Revell AM told us how that donation became a first and important step towards a $5m government grant. This in turn supported exciting research that gained our main guest speaker, Laura McCullough, her PhD and opened the way for a new treatment for this dangerous infection.
