#20 - Dr. Sarah Palmer: HIV persistence and advances in treatment research
Manage episode 435397259 series 3493130
Dr. Sarah Palmer is a virologist specializing in HIV research and pathogenesis. As Co-Director of the Centre for Virus Research at The Westmead Institute for Medical Research and Professor at The University of Sydney School of Medicine, Sarah leads innovative studies on HIV reservoirs and eradication strategies.
In this episode, I learn about the intricacies of HIV. We dive deeper into topics that Sharon and Tony discussed in our previous episodes and break down Sarah’s research in HIV sequencing and protein modeling. Sarah is not only a marvelous scientist but also masterful with words, breaking down complex ideas into easy to understand ones.
