The project will use 3D hydrogel and flow-based models to study platelet-monocyte interactions, vascular inflammation, and disease-associated pathways in HIV. The goal is to clarify mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets.

### Description

Project investigating how platelet-monocyte complexes contribute to large- and small-vessel disease in people living with HIV, including atherosclerosis and cerebral small vessel disease.
