Summary
This project addresses the ongoing challenge posed by HIV-1, a virus infecting approximately 38 million people globally, with Subtype C (C-HIV) as the most prevalent strain. Understanding why C-HIV has become predominant in certain regions of the world is crucial for deciphering its transmission dynamics and impact. Through advanced genetic analysis coupled with state-of-the-art immunological and virological experimental techniques, we aim to uncover the genetic determinants driving C-HIV’s success. This research will deepen our understanding of HIV-1 evolution and help develop innovative strategies to combat the virus and mitigate its impact.
