Research project investigating sex differences in HIV/SIV reservoirs under opioid influence to develop HIV cure strategies using rhesus macaque models.
Description
This project aims to explore the role of sex differences in the establishment and maintenance of HIV/SIV reservoirs in the context of opioid use, utilizing rhesus macaque models. The research involves modeling simulations and analysis of viral reservoirs in CNS and peripheral tissues, with a focus on developing effective HIV cure strategies.
