Research

The goal of our research is to develop new forms of protective antibodies for HIV prevention and eradication. Using antibody engineering technologies, we focus on generating a novel modified antibody-like molecule that has the ability to specifically target and eliminate HIV infected cells, thereby potentially eradicating HIV infection.
