Andrew Talal is Associate Professor of Medicine and Associate Medical Director at the Center for the Study of Hepatitis C at the Weill Cornell Medical College. Following his
research fellowship in Gastrointestinal Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Dr Talal became a Rockefeller University Clinical Scholar in the laboratory of Dr. David Ho where he investigated the pathogenesis of HIV in the gut associated lymphoid tissue. In February 2000, Dr Talal joined the faculty at Weill Cornell where he founded the Viral Hepatitis Clinic, the Center’s Translational Research Laboratory. His research interests include investigation of chemokines as mediators of fibrogenesis and noninvasive biomarkers of hepatic fibrosis. He also has been interested in HCV management in disenfranchised populations including HIV/HCV coinfected and those on opiate agonist therapy.
