We’re pleased to announce the winners from the HepBCommunity.org Research Showcase Awards.
HepBCommunity.org is a free, global peer-led online forum for scientific, clinical, and affected communities to come together and discuss Hepatitis B, endorsed by Hepatitis Australia, the World Hepatitis Alliance, the International Coalition to Eliminate HBV, and more. The forum encourages greater conversation between these communities so that we can all learn from each other.
