This NIH grant supports research on the role of trained immunity in microglia in the pathogenesis of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, aiming to understand molecular mechanisms and functional outcomes.
Description
The project focuses on studying HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and the role of trained immunity in microglia. The project involves establishing in vitro models, identifying molecular inducers, and exploring functional outcomes related to HIV and microglia. The application is part of a fellowship training plan with professional development components.
