Current profession

Current professional activities type: 
Research
I am currently working on HIV-1 pathogenesis. I am investigating the impact of HIV-1 genetic diversity and co-infection with other emerging infections on HIV persistence, re-infection and response to treatment. Moreover I am also investigating the the impact of cardiovascular infections (Rheumatic heart disease) HIV-1 disease control.
