One of the best parts of leading a department is the opportunity to recruit exceptional people who will shape its future. Today, I'm thrilled to share that we are recruiting a W3 Professor of Translational Hepatitis Virus Research at Heidelberg University. https://t.co/mk7AYbK9YH

Scientists discover promising treatment for deadly hepatitis-E virus.

Hepatitis E virus kills about 70,000 people annually and lacks a vaccine or specific treatment.

Bemnifosbuvir, a drug in clinical trials for hepatitis C, may stop the virus from multiplying.

“The general public thinks that if you’re a college professor, you get paid by the school,” says Zoe McElligott, who studies neural circuits at a state university. But for 'soft money' faculty members, that’s not the case.

Our inaugural #Interferons Symposium was– in my potentially biased eyes– a fantastic success🤩. I enjoyed it enormously, and I think also the (>80!) participants had exciting one-and-a-half days. Hope to repeat this next year! 😊
