International Joint Meeting on Viral Infections of the Liver and the Heart (2025)
Day two of this symposium will place a special emphasis on Hepatitis E — a virus that, despite being the most common cause of viral hepatitis, offers a valuable opportunity for further research and understanding. Venue: Cantinerie Berlin Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25 13355 Berlin, Germany. Organisers: Prof. Dr. Jens Kurreck, Dr. rer. nat. Daniel Todt, Prof. Dr. med.
