Post-Doctoral Position in Molecular Virology of Hepatitis B and C
Viruses

A post-doctoral position is available immediately to study the
molecular
virology of hepatitis B and C viruses.

Hepatitis B virus: Research into hepatitis B virus focuses on the
unique biochemistry of the viral reverse transcriptase. We will assess
the metabolism of the reverse transcriptase within cells and examine
the interaction of the reverse transcriptase with other HBV proteins.
Some of these studies will explore a newly discovered form of the
reverse transcriptase that is hypothesized to regulate cellular or
viral functions.

Hepatitis C virus: Research into hepatitis C virus focuses on how the
genetic variability of the virus affects its response to antiviral
therapy. An extensive genetic analysis of the variation of HCV during
antiviral therapy will be performed using a whole-genome sequencing
strategy. We will also determine if variation in the viral
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity affects the evolution of HCV or
its response to antiviral therapy.
