PROPOSITIONS
Belonging to the PhD thesis
Cellular stress response during hepatitis C virus Infection: A balancing act between viral persistence and host cell survival 1. We won a battle against hepatitis C virus with the development of direct-acting
antiviral drugs, but there is still a war ahead of us to eliminate it.
2. The accessibility to the new anti-hepatitis C virus therapies should be a top priority of healthcare providers, regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.
3. Global eradication of the hepatitis C virus can only be achieved by an effective vaccine.
4. Support for hepatitis C virus research is more than ever needed, because we still do not completely understand its pathophysiology.
5. ‘What doesn’t kill hepatitis C virus makes it stronger’.
6. The adaptive response to cellular stress is a key host factor in the clearance of the hepatitis C virus.
(This thesis)
7. New therapeutic options to combat hepatitis C virus infection should be focused on enhancing the adaptive response of the host to cellular stress.
(This thesis)
8. The real success of a researcher is the reward in the pleasure of understanding specific phenomena, not in numerical ratings like impact factors or H-indices. 9. Every road comes to an end, but not for a scientist: knowledge doesn’t have an end. 10.Like other disciplines, biomedical research involves not only the necessity to adapt
to stress but also the attitude to enjoy its essence.
