In this episode, we speak with Dr. Claudia Hawkins, Director of the Center for Global Communicable and Emerging Infectious Diseases at Northwestern University. Dr. Hawkins leads the H2NET Initiative, a groundbreaking effort focused on addressing critical research gaps in Hepatitis B (HBV) and HIV/HBV co-infection across Sub-Saharan Africa. She shares insights into the challenges of HBV research in resource-limited settings, the importance of building local research capacity, and how H2NET is fostering collaboration to improve health outcomes in the region.
