HIV and AIDS-Research


Research

  • HIV cell biology of early events
  • Antiviral restricton factors (APOBEC3, TRIM5α)
  • Innate immunity of HIV-1 (sensing, interferon, ISGs, USP18)
  • Mechanism of resistance to integrase inhibitors and capsid inhibitors
  • Primate lentivirus evolution and adaptation to human or non-human cells
  • HIV animal models

Funding

  • DFG SPP Innate sensing and restriction of retroviruses (until 10/2022)
  • GILEAD (until 03/2023)
  • Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, DAAD (until 2025)
  • China Scholarship Council, CsC (until 2024)
