We envision developing collaborative research programs with the GI division and with the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) investigators at Penn in the area of HIV-HepB and HIV-HepC coinfection. The ID Division at PPMC has developed an outstanding clinical program providing care to HIV-HepB and HIV-HepC co-infected patients. HIV -HepB and HIV HepC co-infections have emerged as leading causes of death in HIV patients and are important areas of research.
