Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a significant cause of liver-related illnesses, including chronic
hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Despite antiviral treatments, few people reach a
sustained cure. Researchers at The Rockefeller University are seeking to understand
how white blood cells respond to HBV with the goal of finding new ways to control the
virus which could lead to new or improved treatments.
