Research theme

Our laboratory is focusing on intractable retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus　and human T-cell leukemia virus. At present, it is impossible to eliminate these viruses from the body once persistent infection is established, because of the unique mechanisms for the immune evasion. Eventually, the infected individuals may develop respective infectious diseases after long-term persistent infection.

With the use of nonhuman primate models, we would like to unravel the molecular and immunological mechanisms of the viral persistency and pathogenesis, and also to challenge applied research regarding the development of new vaccines and therapeutics.
