Dear Friends,
A new scientist has joined ARA. Our staff is energized by Dr. Stefanie Homann's vast knowledge of HIV/AIDS and impressed with her academic and career accomplishments. Dr. Homann earned her PhD in Virology from the University Hospital of Heidelberg, Department of Infectious Diseases, in Germany.
She is published in several peer-reviewed journals, including "Virus replication and CD4+ cell depletion by HIV-1 Nef in ex vivo human tonsil histocultures." Dr. Homann was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, San Diego, Department of Medicine, Infectious Diseases, under Dr. John Guatelli. While at UCSD, Dr. Homann developed a number of research projects, including "The antiviral restriction factor BST-2 in HIV infection in vivo and in vitro," and "The accessory HIV Nef protein and infectivity enhancement."
We believe Dr. Homann brings technical expertise and scientific knowledge that will contribute to the success of ARA's research program, particularly our work targeting the HIV reservoirs [prostratin]. Thank you again for supporting our work.
Sincerely,
Steve
