Refined Mapping of HIV’s Reservoir Could Aid in Cure Research

POZ—Finding a cure to HIV will require a full understanding of the latent reservoir, the population of cells in which the virus hides, evading antiretroviral therapy. Gladstone scientist Nadia Roan describes her recent work mapping an atlas of the reservoir, and how it provides hope that new therapies could be developed to target and eliminate reservoir cells.
