Award for developing advanced imaging techniques to study CNS-associated HIV reservoirs in the context of substance abuse, funded by NIH/NIDA.
Description
This project involves developing advanced in-situ imaging techniques for CNS-associated HIV reservoirs in non-human primates, focusing on optical tissue clearing, volumetric imaging, and machine learning analysis. The project aims to identify and characterize HIV reservoirs in the brain, calvarial bone marrow, and lymph nodes, with a focus on the effects of opioid exposure and ART.
