About IHVR

Programs

The innovative programs of the Institute for Hepatitis and Virus Research (IHVR) include a large compound library and screening program for anti-hepatitis drug discovery, as well as a state-of-the-art proteomics facility that utilizes two mass spectrometers to examine proteins and other molecules from those infected with hepatitis B and C in order to develop early markers of disease.

Biotechnology entrepreneurship is encouraged by the IHVR through its Regional Biotechnology Council and Ben Franklin Innovations Center. Educational training programs, which are coordinated in partnership with the Hepatitis B Foundation, are available to steer talented college and post-college students into scientific research; and public health outreach is provided through the expert and comprehensive programs of the Hepatitis B Foundation.
