I'm pleased to share our recent publication in Neurotherapeutics, where we explore the link between HIV reservoir and neurocognitive dysfunction in PWH. Check it out! The identification of intact HIV proviral DNA from human cerebrospinal... https://t.co/bgtvzUDyfV

I had an amazing time presenting my work at #CROI in the themed discussion and poster sessions! I had many wonderful discussions with attendees and am looking forward to sharing what I've learned with the @GavegnanoGroup ! @EmoryPathology @EmoryCFAR @laneygradschool

Absolutely correct @JillianLau1! Our model is based on observations from a 12 week study, and is limited to the blood reservoir. But with the markers we identified, we are hopeful the trend is applicable to other HIV reservoir compartments! @tu_idolo_m We love the enthusiam!
@tu_idolo_m @MonicaReece @LizHighleyman Note this is model of proposed effects given their current data - not observed effects

It was nice to share my work on ruxolitinib-mediated HIV reservoir decay today at the Emory Pathology Department Symposium! I received some great feedback :) @EmoryPathology @GavegnanoGroup @laneygradschool

News from #IAS2023: @MonicaReece of @GavegnanoGroup at @EmoryUniversity finds ruxolitinib reduced size of #HIV reservoir & reversed immune dysfunction. It may have played a role in a recent stem cell transplant cure & could have potential for #longCOVID. https://t.co/CWh3DJyXXA

Ruxolitinib may have contributed to a functional cure after a stem cell transplant.

It was fantastic meeting the others in the #IAS2023 #YoungLeadersProgram! Although I only managed snag pics with a few of you, I enjoyed meeting you all and look forward to what we'll achieve together in the future! @iasociety

I presented my work on the A5336 study today at #IAS2023 as an in-person poster! So invigorating to chat and hear that others' work reflects many of the same trends we see! @GavegnanoGroup @vmarconi2 @iasociety @EmoryCFAR @EmoryPathology @laneygradschool

“The barrier to an HIV cure is that the virus hides inside DNA of cells. The brass ring is an agent that can eliminate these ‘reservoir cells,’ which would ultimately eliminate #HIV from a person’s body" ~ Christina Gavegnano, PhD @GavegnanoGroup

Congratulations to @MonicaReece and the @GavegnanoGroup for their outstanding presentation at the HIV Cure & Immunotherapy Forum, organized by the IAS in Brisbane! Their mechanistic analysis of the reservoir from patients in ACTG 5336 provide insight into a novel cure pathway
@LizHighleyman @MonicaReece @EmoryCFAR @laneygradschool @EmoryPathology @iasociety @vmarconi2 @pozmagazine @EmoryPathology @EmoryCFAR #IAS2023 We are cautiously optimistic for the collaborative paths forward to an eventual cure, and the potential role of #baricitinib or #ruxolitinib in these efforts. #teamwork #collaboration
