Study of the interactions between the hepatitis E virus and its host

The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is responsible for most acute hepatitis infections worldwide. Although most HEV infections resolve spontaneously without overt symptoms, it may evolve to severe liver disease, acute liver failure and death.
Using state-of-the-art cell culture and in vivo models we will perform transcriptome and interactome studies. Our study will shed light on the pathogenesis of HEV.
