Expertises

HCV virology; HCV cell culture development; Study of antiviral compounds; HCV vaccine development; Cell culture; Molecular biology; Medicine

Main research areas

Main research areas are studies of resistance of HCV to antivirals and HCV vaccine development with focus on whole virus inactivated and virus like particle vaccine candidates.

Current research

We are characterizing the efficacy of antivirals and combinations of antivirals against different HCV variants. We further study HCV resistance to antivirals including identification of resistance associated substitutions and mechanisms of resistance development.

We investigate development of HCV vaccine candidates. We are establishing a bioprocess for development of whole viral particle inactivated vaccine candidates. We are testing such vaccine candidates and vaccine candidates based on virus like particles.
