Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are able to replicate HIV-1, and the decrease of pDC number in blood is correlated with HIV-1 viremia in patients. During my thesis,...

Viral promoters modulate transcription and hence viral replication. The HIV-1 promoter is polymorph in its transcription factors binding sites. The impact of this...

Nowadays with the newest technologies, the entire genome can be explored to uncover genetic variants which may be linked to diseases. This requires bioinformatics...

The Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a retrovirus with a genome composed of two molecules of single stranded RNA. The reverse transcriptase encoded by...

Even though current multitherapies maintain HIV infection under control, they unfortunately do not achieve viral eradication due to the existence of latently infected...
