Biography
The Abdel-Mohsen laboratory investigates the role of host-virus interactions in persistence and immunopathogenesis of HIV infection by combining virological, glycobiological, and immune-based basic and translational research. The multidisciplinary studies aim to develop novel approaches to enhance immune function and control/eradicate HIV.
Research Interest
Abdel-Mohsen’s research focuses on diverse aspects of HIV pathogenesis, including HIV latency, host-virus interactions, intrinsic immunity, and HIV sequence diversity.
