Dissecting Viral Hepatitis at the Molecular Level: Biology Department of FMIPA UNEJ Hosts Researcher from Germany’s Robert Koch Institute

The Biology Department at FMIPA UNEJ, fostered an international-standard academic atmosphere by hosting a guest lecture featuring Dr. rer. nat. Dominik Harms, a researcher from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin, Germany. Dr. Dominik discussed research developments regarding Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis D Virus (HDV), and Hepatitis E Virus (HEV), covering topics ranging from epidemiology, pathogenic mechanisms, and virus-host cell interactions to disease management and control strategies. Centered on the theme “Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Management of HBV, HDV, and HEV” the event provided participants with insights into these viral hepatitis infections, which are matters of global concern.

It is noted that the three viruses possess distinct biological characteristics and infection mechanisms, necessitating specific approaches to research and management. “HBV can establish chronic infection through complex interactions with the immune system; HDV relies on the presence of HBV to replicate yet can exacerbate liver damage; and HEV is a major cause of acute hepatitis with diverse epidemiological characteristics,” he explained. Dr. Dominik emphasized the importance of understanding the relationship between the viruses and the body’s immune response as a foundation for developing more effective strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
