Janet Siliciano, PhD

Janet Siliciano, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine, focuses on HIV, including CD4-positive T lymphocytes, virus latency and highly active antiretrovirals.  She explores the challenges of detecting HIV persistence during potentially curative interventions and the multifactorial nature of HIV-1 latency. J Siliciano Research Dashboard and Publications

Robert Siliciano, MD, PhD

Robert Siliciano, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine, identified the latent reservoir for HIV in resting CD4+ T cells.  This reservoir is the major barrier to curing HIV infection and is the focus of an intense international research effort in which Dr. Siliciano’s lab plays a key role.  He has joint appointments in the Departments of Molecular Biology and Genetics and Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences, and Biology.

Eileen Scully, MD, PhD

Eileen Scully, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, notes HIV infection disrupts the innate immune response disabling protective responses and leading to pathologic inflammation. Her lab is investigating several features of innate immunity in HIV with the goals of: (1) identifying mechanisms of innate immune reprogramming in HIV (2) developing strategies to harness innate immune effector function for HIV cure and (3) defining the contribution of biological sex to variations in HIV immunopathology.
