慢性B型肝炎影響著全球約4億人的生活,它也是導致肝癌的主要誘因之一。基於開創性的研究,黎教授揭示了關於肝炎病理和新療法的洞見。

自1971年起,黎教授任職於內科學系,隨後在系內的腸胃及肝臟科工作,該部門是香港領先的相關疾病轉診中心,並經常受理海外的會診。中心在瑪麗醫院設有住院服務,並為全院其他科系提供諮詢。

黎教授畢業時是港大醫學院的成績最優秀的學生,一年後,他加入醫學系。2003年來,他任醫學與肝臟病學教授。作為慢性B型肝炎專家,黎教授是世界最頂級的1%科學家之一。

他開創了對患慢性B型肝炎患兒的干擾素實驗,隨後帶頭開展了一系列全新的抗病毒藥物、核苷類似物的實驗,包括拉米夫定(1998年獲得許可牌照)、恩替卡韋(2006年獲得許可牌照)及替比夫定(2007年獲得許可牌照)。這三項研究均在《新英格蘭醫學雜誌》上發表,黎教授為第一作者。恩替卡韋現被認為是治療慢性B型肝炎首選的三種藥劑之一,被證實對降低肝纖維化有長期療效。

黎教授也是開展防治B型肝炎疫苗實驗的先驅之一。該項目創下了最持久的疫苗隨訪數據紀錄,無需加強劑量,疫苗在22年後依然有效。

黎教授應邀開展了許多受人矚目的講座,包括2005年度美國肝髒病研究協會頗受尊崇的萊昂希夫最新進展演講。他是兩輯《B型肝炎病毒》專書的合著者,發表過逾400篇學術期刊論文及評論。他被引用次數最多的論文,《對拉米夫定抗慢性B型肝炎病毒的一年期實驗》,被援引超過1200次。
