Infectious diseases professorship with a focus on hepatology

Short description

Professor Markus Cornberg and his translational research group provide the necessary link between hospitals, the HepNet Study House trial platform and scientific activities at the DZIF. At the Hannover Medical School, Cornberg is clinically responsible for the Hepatitis Outpatient Clinic and for the Infectious Disease Ward in the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endocrinology. Through his group, he is able to establish cohorts of patients with hepatitis infections including those with liver cirrhosis and is able to organise for the collection and storage of samples. His scientific group conducts research on immunological matters and in particular where physicians are trying to understand why the immune system is only partially able to cure or control hepatitis infections, amongst other matters in question.
