REACH PI Brad was commissioned by the American Museum of Natural History American Museum of Natural History to write on "Can HIV be Cured?". The essay -found here bradjoneslab.org/news, will soon appear in a series on Viruses, Vaccines, and Pandemic Science amnh.org/explore/viruse… Weill Cornell Infectious Diseases Division Immunology & Microbial Pathogenesis (IMP) Program

Great energy with all of these dedicated scientists and community members. Year 1 was a success and we will continue to REACH together towards an #HIVcure

REACH is NYC's first #HIVCure-focused consortium, but we enter into a rich and storied landscape of advocacy, prevention, and vaccine research. What an honor to engage with the community - alongside leaders in these areas - to introduce ourselves and our program!

Team REACH at the 2022 NYC AIDS Walk! We met our fundraising goal in support of GMHC the world's first AIDS service organization and helped raise awareness of the ongoing need #AIDSWalkNY Sallie Permar MD PhD Nussenzweig_LAB Weill Cornell Infectious Diseases Division

#aidswalkny! We were proud to do our part to support GMHC and the critical services they provide to people living with and affected by #HIV, and we celebrated with a picnic in Central Park.

REACH is focused on HIV, but there are other benefits to bringing scientists together. The first collab between Brad Jones Lab and Paul Bieniasz: Inhibition of major histocompatibility complex-I antigen presentation by sarbecovirus ORF7a proteins biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Paul Bieniasz Wilfredo F. Garcia-Beltran, MD, PhD It was invigorating to chip into this great virology/immunology collaboration with Dennis C. Copertino Jr @talia_mota Brad.

Inflammation negatively impacts the health of people with HIV and persists despite ARV therapy. This study by Adam R. Ward and the Brad Jones Lab suggests that ongoing adaptive immune responses are not major drivers of this. #hivcure Weill Cornell Infectious Diseases Division journals.lww.com/aidsonline/Abs…

In this invited Opinion piece we propose how discoveries from other genome-integrating viruses may inform HIV persistence.

COVID-19 vaccine exposes HIV hidden in immune cells of people with HIV, pointing to potential new tools in the development of HIV treatment for a cure, according to new findings from a team led by Dr. Brad Jones of Weill Cornell Infectious Diseases Division and Weill Department of Medicine. bit.ly/3prHfb0

SARS CoV-2 mRNA vaccination exposes latent HIV to Nef-specific CD8+ T-cells disq.us/t/4a1xt6f - The net effect is a boost to some HIV-specific immune responses and reductions in the residual HIV RNA that persists in people living with HIV.

I hear Republicans complaining about $20,000 in student debt forgiveness. Funny, I didn't hear those complaints when Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times & had $287 million in loans forgiven by big banks. The GOP l-o-v-e-s socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest.

1/ The Rutishauser Lab UCSF Division of Experimental Medicine is recruiting postdocs and technicians! We study the mechanisms that promote the formation of effective human antiviral CD8+ T cell responses across developmental stages. We have several exciting funded projects: 👇 experimentalmedicine.ucsf.edu/laboratories/r…
