Primary Area of Research:
Pathogenesis of viral hepatitis
Liver carcinogenesis
Transcription factor oncogenes and cell transformation
Gastroenterology and liver pathology
Graft verse host disease(GVHD)
Majority of the patients who infected with hepatitis C virus will develop chronic infection and subsequently led to chronic liver disease and even liver cancer. Currently there is neither effective vaccine nor treatment. We will try to determine the nature of this viral infection and host response in infected human liver tissue, which will provide insight into the pathogenesis.
