About us:
We are interested in understanding the fundamental biology of HIV in primary cells of the immune system, including resting CD4 T cells and macrophages (**Nature Medicine 2012 Nov;18(11):1682-7, J Leukoc Biol. 2015 Jul;98(1):5-14; Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2017 Mar 7;114(10):2729-2734). Recently, we have developed innovative methodology to study the function of cellular genes for HIV-1 infection in primary cells (Nature Methods 2022; 19: 81–89).
