A Personalized Approach to HIV

Andrea Savarino

Finding a vaccine for HIV/AIDS could have enormous implications both in prevention and treatment of the infection. In this blog, Andrea Savarino focuses on some of the efforts aimed at finding a therapeutic vaccine, and, in particular, on a novel wave of research, to which he’s participated and which recently resulted in a clinical trial giving proof of concept for personalized immunization strategy based on highly conserved portions of HIV. While not yet a cure for HIV/AIDS, he believes that it may contribute new clues for strategies aimed at HIV eradication from the body.
