Boris Fehse

Prof. Dr. Boris Fehse serves as a Professor and Coordinator of the Bridging Topic 'Cell and Gene Therapies of Infectious Diseases' at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. His institutional affiliations span a collaborative network across northern Germany:

• Primary appointment: University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf
• Regional partnerships: University of Lübeck, Research Center Borstel, Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (Riems)

Research focuses on the immune mechanisms controlling persistent viral infections, with particular emphasis on HIV-1 pathogenesis. His work investigates why certain viruses like HIV evade complete immune clearance while others (e.g., herpesviruses) remain controlled lifelong. Current projects explore novel cell and gene therapy approaches to disrupt viral persistence in infectious diseases, bridging fundamental immunology with translational therapeutic development.
