HIV Host interactions

There are two types of HIV, HIV-1 and HIV-2, which can lead to AIDS. HIV-1, with global spread, is the more aggressive and infectious virus. The reason for the difference in pathogenesis between HIV-1 and HIV-2 is not yet clear, and neither is the inhibiting effect that HIV-2 has on HIV-1 in dually infected understood. Our research is focused on understanding the interactions between the immune sy

RNA drugs one step closer to be being used in cancer treatment

In recent years, RNA molecules, with the ability to affect or turn off pathogenic genes, have become promising drug candidates in several areas. However, it has been a challenge to develop techniques to deliver the RNA molecules into the cells where they have an effect. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now developed a sensitive technique that makes it possible to study the delivery in

WCMM Fellows

João Duarte Wallenberg Molecular Medicine Fellow - Diabetes Insulin signalling has a role in modulating brain function, namely through control of metabolism and synaptic plasticity, and its deterioration occurs in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and in diabetes mellitus. We are mainly investigating the coupling between brain metabolism and function, and its deregulat

Acute HIV-1 infectionViral evolution and innate immune responses during acute adult HIV-1 infection and their association with disease pathogenesisIt has been suggested that different virological and immunological events during the very early stages of HIV infection may determine the rate of the future disease course of the individual patient. Previous studies by us and others have suggested that
