Yale HIV Neuro Group

Our research group seeks to understand and address the mechanisms underlying damage to the central nervous system in HIV and other infections. Our studies focus on the effects of acute infection in the central nervous system and the extent to which pathogenic processes established early in the course of disease contribute to long-term viral reservoirs in the central nervous system or sustained, neurologic injury.

All of our efforts are concentrated on data and samples collected from humans, with participant recruitment locally in the U.S. and at international sites to understand varied aspects of viral neuropathogenesis.
