Hi HepBcommunity Members,

I was fortunate enough to be interviewed together with my colleague Dr. Mala Main for the podcast This Week in Virology (TWiV) live at the 2024 International HBV Meeting in Chicago, USA. In it, we discuss HBV biology and the state of the field, with the target audience being other virologists and the general public who have a basic understanding of viruses.

It was a lot of fun to discuss the work of the outstanding scientists in the HBV field, although it was a bit daunting to do so while many of them were sitting in the audience watching us! I had to ask HepBcommunity founder and prominent HBV researcher Dr. Thomas Tu a clarifying question while I was onstage!

I’m excited about how the better understanding of HBV that is arising from the efforts of the HBV research community is being used by academic and industry scientists world-wide to improve treatments for the >250 million people who are chronically infected with HBV.

Hi All,

I may be able to figure out HBV replication, but I apparently cannot copy a web link properly! The real link to the TWiV podcast is at:

Sorry for the mistake!

And I also misspelled Mala’s name! She is Dr. Mala Maini, not Main! I really am a terrible proof-reader.
