Presentation Overview

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Ronald G. Nahass, President of the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), for a compelling and clinician focused presentation on how chronic hepatitis B management is moving beyond lifelong viral suppression toward an achievable functional cure. This talk will review why current therapies fall short, summarize emerging combination strategies targeting viral antigens and immune restoration, and discuss what infectious disease clinicians need to know as cure-directed trials begin to reshape care. Following this presentation, Dr. Nahass will give an update on IDSA and will end the meeting with a Q and A with the attendees.
