Research Statement
"The single biggest threat to man's continued
dominance on the planet is the virus"
-Joshua Lederberg
As Lederberg claims, “virus[es]” have the potential to destroy the human race as we know it. Through my future research, I will aid in the prevention of the potential danger of viruses, specifically HIV. My research agenda centers around understanding the processes that underlie HIV infection and exploiting them to develop new treatments, and potentially a cure for HIV.
