Research Abstract
Dr. Ke-Qin Hu is the Director of Hepatology Services and Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at UCI School of Medicine. Dr. Hu received his medical education and training in Tongji Medical University, China. He become Board Certified in Internal Medicine in US after his residency at Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena, and completed a fellowship in Hepatology at the USC Liver Unit. Dr. Hu has a long-standing research interest in both basic and clinical research of viral hepatitis B and C, and primary liver cancer. Dr. Hu’s current clinical research focuses on understanding how hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with fatty infiltrates in the liver and disease progression, and how viral hepatitis B and C are associated with liver cancer. As an active clinical investigator, Dr. Hu participates in several important clinical trials that tests new treatments for hepatitis B and C. Currently, his laboratory focuses on searching new chemoprevention of liver cancer. Dr. Hu has co-authored more than 100 research papers, book chapters, and review articles, including publications in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Journal of Clinical Investigation, and Hepatology. Dr. Hu serves as an associate editor for several medical journals.
