11:00am – 12:00pm Los Angeles
The in-person Grand Rounds entitled, “Bridging the Gap: Cell and Gene Therapies for Latent HIV Infection and Other Low-Antigen Diseases” will take place at CHS 13-105 (UCLA) on Tuesday, February 13, 2024 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., PST.
The event will feature Christopher W. Peterson, PhD:
- Assistant Professor, Translational Science and Therapeutics Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center
Event Summary:
Over the past decade, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells have emerged as a potent therapy for B cell malignancies. Applying analogous antigen-specific approaches for diseases such as antiretroviral therapy (ART)-suppressed HIV-1 infection poses additional challenges. This presentation will outline our efforts to deliver supplemental antigen and enhance the potency of anti-HIV cell and gene therapies.

The Grand Rounds are monthly lecture series, which is offered by the UCLA CHIPTS and UCLA-CDU CFAR, consists of hour-long lunchtime lectures, delivered by invited guests or distinguished members of the Institute faculty, on a broad range of subjects. The aims of the program are to highlight important developments in AIDS-related research, encourage collaborations between UCLA investigators and invited speakers, interest young investigators in AIDS research, and provide information about new findings and new funding opportunities.
The Grand Rounds monthly lectures are delivered by renowned researchers/scientists, clinicians, community members and leaders in the HIV prevention and treatment field, and aim to:
- Share latest research findings on HIV prevention, care, and treatment, and highlight important developments in research
- Encourage scientific collaborations and networking between UCLA investigators and invited speakers
- Excite an interest in HIV/AIDS research for early career investigators, and provide resources about new research findings, funding, and career opportunities.
