We are interested in establishing the impact of hepatitis B virus genotypes and naturally occurring mutations on viral genome replication, protein expression (core protein and e antigen), and virus particle release. It is well documented that certain mutations and some viral genotypes are closely associated with the development of liver cancer, but the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. We use molecular approaches to address this important medical problem.
