HEPATITIS – PROFESSOR DIETER GLEBE
Professor Dieter Glebe is virologist and head of the German National Reference Centre for Hepatitis B Viruses and Hepatitis D Viruses at the University in Giessen, Germany. The overall aim of his research is focused on understanding the evolutionary background and molecular mechanism involved in infectivity, persistence and neutralization of hepatitis B and D viruses. In the past, Glebe discovered and characterized new species of hepadnaviruses and hepatitis D viruses from various mammals, including hepadnaviruses from primates, bats and shrews that could serve as animal models for HBV and HDV. He is also interested in HBV vaccines and analysed efficiency of neutralising antibodies against HBV surface proteins. Learn More Here
