Research Interests:
My research efforts continue to focus on the role of chemokines (RANTES, MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta) in the pathogenesis of HIV infection. I am also involved in experiments to determine the value of chemokines in HIV therapy. We are in the process of designing and producing chemokine analogues that may optimize antiviral effects in vivo.
