Novel strategies to modulate effector cell recruitment
Stem cell therapy to promote liver repair
Adoptive immunotherapy with dendritic cells to stimulate protective immune responses against hepatitis C infection and liver cancer
The use of novel inhibitors of viral receptors to prevent recurrent HCV infection after liver transplantation.
Dr Afford is interested in supervising doctoral researchers in his areas of interest.
