UNMC/Temple HIV Research Collaboration
For first time ever, researchers able to eliminate HIV from animal
UNMC, Temple collaborate on historic study detailed in Nature Communications
In a major collaborative effort, researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) have for the first time eliminated replication-competent HIV- 1 DNA – the virus responsible for AIDS – from the genomes of living animals. The study, reported online July 2 in the journal Nature Communications, marks a critical step toward the development of a possible cure for human HIV infection.
