HIV vaccine development and preparedness studies: systems biology and social approaches to characterize determinants of HIV acquisition and disease progression in Female Sex Workers and in cohorts of slow progressors
EF 2010-11
Résumé
In order to design an effective vaccine against HIV, it is important to understand the correlates of immune protection, that is to identify markers that could be use to predict whether a vaccine will be effective or not. Important information in this regard can be gained by studying groups of individuals who seem to be naturally protected against infection or against disease progression once infected. Our multi-disciplinary team proposes to use a global approach allowing us to study the host and virus interactions as well as the environment in which these interactions take place.
