Q&A with Mathias Lichterfeld

Congratulations to Dan Barouch, MD, PhD, one of this year's recipients of the King Faisal Prize!

Researchers used a new single-cell proteogenomic profiling technique, PheP-Seq, to characterize HIV reservoir cells. They found specific biomarkers associated with resistance to immune responses.

Researchers conducted a longitudinal analysis of HIV-1 reservoirs in people who have been on ART for approximately two decades. The findings suggest that long-term ART causes the immune system to select for latent HIV reservoirs that are in integrated in “block and lock” positions in the human genome.

The award is given by the MGH Executive Committee On Research (ECOR) to outstanding independent young scientists who have demonstrated the potential to rise to a leadership position in their chosen field.

Ragon associate member Michael Birnbaum was recently honored by the Committed to Caring program at MIT, which recognizes faculty committed to inclusiveness who go above and beyond in mentoring graduate students.
