Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Anne McNamara"
- Anne McNamara's research primarily focuses on advancing the understanding of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, emphasizing the development of reliable biomarkers for predicting disease outcomes and treatment responses in chronic hepatitis B patients.
- Recent studies highlight the significance of quantitative serum markers, such as HBsAg and HBeAg, as strong predictors for treatment efficacy with pegylated interferon and the importance of improved detection methods for occult HBV infections.
- Additionally, her work delves into molecular and serological characterization of HBV and its implications for vaccine efficacy, illustrating gaps in current diagnostics and proposing solutions through enhanced assay sensitivity.
