Susana Valente’s research focuses on mechanisms that regulate HIV-1 latency in CD4+T memory T cells and development of antiviral molecules that suppress the latent reservoir. Namely, her laboratory has pioneered the “block-and-lock” approach for a functional HIV cure. She received the American Foundation for AIDS research, Landenberger Foundation, and NIH Career Development Awards. Her laboratory is currently funded with grants from NIH NIAID.
