Background And Aims:
The second Hepatitis E Symposium was held as an integral part of the International DFG/DZIF Joint Meeting on Viral Infections of the Liver and the Heart in Berlin. The symposium aimed to provide a comprehensive exploration of hepatitis E virus (HEV) research and bring together clinicians, basic scientists, public health experts, and bioinformaticians from around the world.
Methods:
The program comprised two focused thematic sessions with eight invited speakers presenting recent advances in HEV biology, pathogenesis, and clinical impact. In addition, two interactive round table discussions and two poster sessions facilitated the exchange of recent findings and fostered critical debate.
Results:
Core topics included current challenges in HEV epidemiology, emerging therapeutic strategies, and advances in the clinical management of HEV infections. The round table discussions fostered intensive interdisciplinary dialogue, identifying key knowledge gaps as potential avenues for collaborative research.
Conclusion:
This report summarises the data presented at the symposium and outlines the main themes and outcomes of the round table discussions, highlighting both the progress made and the future directions for HEV research.
