My laboratory employs approaches rooted in synthetic immunology as a means of engineering or enhancing the natural immune system with the goal of understanding, preventing and treating HIV infection. We are currently applying these approaches to a number...

Dan Barouch received his Ph.D. in immunology from Oxford University and his M.D. from Harvard Medical School. He is currently the William Bosworth Castle Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine...

We are interested in the mechanisms that direct development and degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates. We are focusing our studies on the vertebrate retina, a relatively simple and well-characterized area of the CNS. We have used...

Our research centers on elucidating molecular mechanisms of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) viral entry -- that is, how HIV enters host cells and how the viral envelope protein interacts with host cellular receptors. Insights gained from these studies...

Our laboratory has been focused on the mechanisms of HCV persistence and pathogenesis. Hepatitis C virus infects 170 million persons worldwide and is remarkable for its predilection for chronicity. It is also a leading cause of chronic liver disease...

Our research focuses on new technologies for genomic & proteomic measurement, synthesis and modeling of biomedical & ecological systems -- in particular, personal genomics and biofuels. We have developed next-generation sequencing methods to analyze the...
