Chait completed his MD degree at the age of 25 from the University of California School of Medicine at San Francisco. Maxwell is a Fellow of several prestigious organizations, including the American College of Physicians, American College of Gastroenterology, American Gastroenterological Association and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. He is a practicing gastroenterologist on the faculty of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Arnolfo Petruzziello was born in Naples (Italy) where he is Head of the Diagnostic Virology and Molecular Biology Unit of National Cancer Research IRCCS Italia Fondazione G. Pascale in Naples. Post degreed in Microbiology and Virology and PhD in Molecular and Cellular Pathology he is also Peer-rewiever and Editorial Board member and peer-reviewer for: World Journal of Gastroenterology and Archives of Microbiology and Biotechnology.

His research interests include Virology and Molecular Biology, with particular reference to PCR for the diagnosis of HBV, HCV, HIV infections and EBV, HSV and CMV co-infections in the context of the transplantation program.

Paul has run the Hepatitis B Foundation and Trust from 2010, taking some 10,000 HBV related calls on the National UK helpline. He has also consulted on some 500,000 HBV vaccinations and tests across Industries that work with blood risks and the ethnic communities in the UK that are endemic for HBV. He is author of websites for patients and clinicians, runs forums and publishes a range of Hepatitis Books, Booklets, Posters, Factsheets, Policy Documents and Documentaries.

Professor Sen-Yung Hsieh earned his MD degree from the National Yang Ming University in 1983, and obtained his PhD in Molecular Virology and Pathology from University of Pennsylvania in 1991. He received his clinical training in internal medicine, and subsequent a specialty in hepatogastroenterology in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linko, Taiwan. He initially focused on the molecular virology and epidemiology of human hepatitis viruses. His team for the first time identified the zoonotic transmission of hepatitis E virus from swine to humans in 1998, which was later found in other wild and domestic animals as natural reservoirs for sporadic hepatitis E in Japan, western countries, and other parts of the world. Currently, Dr. Hsieh is interested in elucidation the molecular mechanisms involving in carcinogenesis of human hepatoma. By integration of both functional genomics and molecular and cellular biology, he has identified novel oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and pathways that play significant roles in oncogenesis of human hepatoma. His works have been published in J Virology, Nucleic Acid Res, PNAS, Cancer Research, Oncogene, Proteomics, J Proteome Res, Mol Cell Proteomics, J Hepatology, and Hepatology
