Self-introduction
I am interested in the life cycles of the hepatitis viruses and the immune responses of the host to the hepatitis viruses. The goal of my research is to elucidate the intracellular dynamics and immune responses of the hepatitis viruses and to develop novel therapeutic agents that can completely eliminate the hepatitis virus from infected cells.
