Professor Li Wenhui's research results will also become the most important research direction of hepatitis B research in the future. Even Dr. Rice, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, praised Professor Li Wenhui's research, believing that his research results will provide sufficient medical basis for blocking the spread of hepatitis B virus in the future.
It is reported that Li Wenhui is currently a professor at the Beijing Institute of Life Sciences. 200 1 Graduated from Union Medical College, then worked as a tutor at Harvard Medical College and participated in postdoctoral research. After working for several years, Professor Li Wenhui returned to Peking University and began to focus on the research of hepatitis B virus.

According to the data of the World Health Organization, there are more than 240 million hepatitis B patients in the world, and more than 80 million people in China are infected with hepatitis B, so it is very important to study the transmission mechanism of hepatitis B virus, which is also very important to save these hepatitis B patients.
