Molecular Pathogenesis of Hepatitis C

The Hepatic Pathogenesis Section, Laboratory of Infectious Diseases, NIAID, NIH, conducts translational research in the field of liver diseases, with a particular focus on the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis. A post-doctoral position is available immediately in the Hepatic Pathogenesis Section to study the molecular virology, pathogenesis and immunity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, including the characterization of the correlates of protective immunity. A major area of the laboratory is to investigate the host and viral factors that determine the outcome of hepatitis C, and the long-term sequelae of chronic hepatitis C, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
