We use mathematical & experimental approaches to decode the regulatory principles biology uses to select between alternate fates. We then exploit these principles to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop new antiviral and anti-cancer medicines.
The New York Times explains how a hollowed-out copy of HIV steals the proteins the real virus needs, and why one shot may keep it in check for good.
The full paper in Science, where a single injection of therapeutic interfering particles cut viral load in macaques by more than a thousandfold.
Science reports on a single dose of an engineered, disease-free HIV variant that sharply suppressed the virus in infected monkeys, and why human trials may be next.
Leor Weinberger shares a scientific breakthrough: "hijacker therapy," a type of medical treatment that could attack, modify and spread alongside a virus, potentially treating afflicted individuals and slowing the spread of infections like HIV. Now live on TED.com.
