Research in my laboratory focuses on cellular mechanisms that regulate HIV replication and transcription. Current projects include exploring how signaling influences HIV infection and latency, devising strategies for long-term repression of HIV provirus and characterizing the transcriptional status of HIV provirus in T cell and macrophage subsets. In addition, we are interested in mechanisms that contribute to HIV associated inflammation. I have served on NIH study sections and special emphasis panels and was a member and chair for the NIH AIDS Molecular and Cellular Biology Study Section. In addition to my research, I have always been proactive in undergraduate and graduate training and I am the current co-Director of the BU PREP post-bac program. I also have organized and participated in programs for international students including a summer program with University of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, a short course at Makerere University in Uganda and a Fogarty International Center training grant with the University of Liberia.
