Angela Crawley - Researcher Exchange Another round of the Researcher Exchange has come to a close, and you the people have voted on what HIV related topic you wanted to learn about. Biggest of thank you's to David Willer and Jessica Prodger for taking part. This round's winner is:
Dr. Angela M. Crawley, Ph.D., an Associate Scientist, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) and recipient of an Ontario HIV Treatment Network Junior Investigator Development Award (OHTN-JIDA). Angela discusses her research with Dr. Jonathan B. Angel (OHRI) in which they study the expression and function of a protein that is important for T-cell responses to HIV infection. Although the research is in its early stages, there is great promise for how it may improve current therapies for HIV-infected individuals. |
