My Research Interest in RESIST |
Our research focus in RESIST is to identify factors for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) vaccination non- responsiveness in single individuals. Additionally, we strive towards a better understanding of how protective immunity against HBV is induced. In this regard, we intensively collaborate with clinical institutes and occupational health physicians of the MHH to ultimately generate a comprehensive model of HBV vaccination non-responsiveness to improve vaccination schemes for HBV vaccination non-responders and to develop innovative vaccination strategies.
