In addition to providing clinical care for study participants enrolled in clinical trials, the staff clinician will conduct comprehensive bench-to-bedside research in diverse cohorts of PWH in order to address fundamental pathogenic questions, such as elucidating mechanisms of viral persistence and the role of the host immunity in virologic suppression and evaluating promising novel therapeutic agents in both ex vivo and in vivo settings.
