Research grant awarded to study HIV persistence and neurological damage in brain myeloid cells, aiming to develop strategies to clear HIV infection and reduce associated neurological damage.
Description
This is a research grant opportunity focused on HIV persistence in brain myeloid cells, with an emphasis on understanding HIV reservoirs, dispersal, and inflammation-induced neurological damage. The project involves analysis of tissues from autopsy studies and aims to develop strategies to clear HIV infection and reduce neurological damage associated with HIV.
