Q&A with Yael David and Charles Rice on using chromatin biology to understand hepatitis

Abstract

Yael David leads her lab focused on studying the fundamental mechanisms of epigenetic regulation of transcription at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Charles Rice is the Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Professor in Virology at The Rockefeller University in New York City. We contacted them to discuss a recent publication by the David lab that substantially advances the molecular understanding of and, potentially, the clinical arsenal against infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV).
