The host-virus interactions that determine the outcome of viral infections have fascinated me ever since medical school. My first opportunity to actively pursue this interest came when I was lucky enough to be part of a team at the National Institutes of Health that transmitted the hepatitis B virus (HBV) to chimpanzees. 1 Thus began a longstanding interest in the immunobiology of persistent human viral infections, especially those that infect the liver. I am greatly honored that this work has been recognized by the Rous-Whipple Award this year, giving me this opportunity to describe our current state of understanding of these infections.
