The 2016 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award was given to three scientists working on different stages of the translational sciences on bringing a high efficacious therapy against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to a reality. An effective treatment of HCV chronic infection was developed, by a team led by Michael Sofia, using a prodrug approach and the drug PSI-7977 or Sofosbuvir was approved in 2013 less than 28 years after the initial discovery of HCV.
