Major Research Theme
The focus of our research is HIV immunology, pathogenesis, and vaccine development.  We are actively developing novel vaccine strategies for HIV, including plasmid DNA vaccines and recombinant adenovirus vectors.  A major focus of our group is to assess the immunogenicity of candidate vaccines in preclinical murine and primate models and to study immune correlates of protection.  We are also advancing promising HIV vaccine strategies into phase 1 clinical trials.
