Research Focus

The mission of the Law Laboratory is to generate foundational insights in virology and immunology that enable the eradication of HBV and HCV.   Experimentally, we apply a wide range of cutting-edge technologies to the investigation of viral hepatitis, chronic Infection, antibody, B cell, and vaccine design.
