Dr. Yi studies positive-strand RNA viruses, especially hepatitis A virus
(HAV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Her main interest in these two viruses lies
in dissecting the mechanism of their replication via their characteristic
adaptation in in vitro cell culture. Her research also aims to elucidate the
potential mechanisms of resistance of novel antiviral agents to treat HCV
infection. Dr. Yi's main research focus has been on developing an
HCV cell culture system that is capable of reproducing the entire life cycle of
hepatitis C virus in vitro, as the lack of this is the major impediment to HCV
research.
