– Funding will Support Research to Advance Scientific Understanding and Improve Patient Care in Viral Hepatitis, Co-Infection, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis –
Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) today announced the launch of five new global grants programs to continue to support investigator-sponsored research in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV), HCV and HIV co-infection, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The programs will accept applications from around the world for projects that seek to address pressing unmet patient needs in liver disease, including improving screening and linkage to care, simplifying HCV testing and treatment, developing innovative referral pathways to help patients with NASH access care, addressing gaps in HBV care for special populations and understanding PSC epidemiology.

People living with NASH need to access earlier diagnoses and clearer referral pathways to help them access care," said Bill Guyer, Senior Vice President, Head of Medical Affairs, Gilead Sciences. "Gilead is proud to support investigator-sponsored research areas across liver diseases, which we believe can help broaden understanding of how to manage these diseases and help patients be appropriately linked to care."
