The Viral Pathogenesis Program is concentrated on molecular studies of virus replication and pathogenesis. In vitro as well as animal models for HIV, HBV and HCV, the hepatitis delta agent (HDV) and measles virus are used for investigations on the role of cytokines during virus infection in the CNS and in recovery from transient hepatitis virus infections in the liver, understanding the structure and replication of HDV and the nature of its interactions with HBV as well as investigations on the biochemistry and atomic structure of HIV and avian retroviral integrases.
