A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Virus VIH-2, second virus du sida isolé en 1985 par l'équipe du Pr. Montagnier de l'Institut Pasteur.

About

Dr Sáez-Cirión received his PhD in Science in 2001 from the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, Spain. He joined the Institut Pasteur in Paris as a Postdoc in 2003 after a first postdoctoral period at the FDA-CBER in Bethesda. He leads now a research team in the HIV Inflammation and Persistence Unit. His research is currently focused in understanding (i) the mechanisms underlying control of HIV infection in natural HIV controllers and post-treatment controllers in remission of HIV infection after interruption of antiretroviral treatment; (ii) the factors associated with the establishment of HIV reservoirs and devising new approaches to tackle them.

Natural Control of HIV-1 Infection

Asier Sáez-Cirión (PI)

HIV-controllers (HIC) (also called “elite controllers” or “elite suppressors”) are rare (less than 1%) HIV-infected patients who control viral replication to undetectable levels in the absence of antiretroviral treatment. In the context of the […]
