Biography

Dr. Peter Ruane earned his medical degree from University College Dublin and completed an internal medicine residency from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

 

He completed a research and clinical fellowship in Infectious Diseases at the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration and is Board Certified in Infectious Diseases.

 

During his 25 years of diagnosing and battling complex infections related to HIV and then mastering antiviral therapy as it became available, he developed a strong clinical trial research site helping evolve entirely new therapies for the major RNA virus diseases, first HIV and now Hepatitis C.

 

As treatments for Hepatitis C have rapidly evolved over the past 2 years, Dr Ruane has played a leadership role in Los Angeles bringing promising new agents in trials to patients in need across a large spectrum of patients including rich and poor, homeless, Egyptian immigrants and patients co-infected with HIV. Even with the approval of new drug therapies, he expects that still better treatment options will come rapidly through ongoing trials and most importantly, that all patients with Hepatitis C are curable.

 

Recognized for his expertise in research in addition to clinical care, he has been an invited speaker at national and international meetings, and most recently presented results from an HCV trial in Genotype 4 patients at The Liver Meeting in 2013 in Washington DC.
