"Targeting Viral DNA for the Cure of HIV and other Chronic Infections" Chronic viral infections have plagued humanity for millennia. Now infections such as HIV, hepatitis B virus, herpes simplex, and human papillomavirus are being targeted by new approaches that raise the possibility of their cure. In this talk Dr. Keith Jerome, Associate Professor of Laboratory Medicine at the UW, explains the use of DNA editing enzymes to disrupt essential viral nucleic acids or the human genes encoding receptors needed for viral entry. He also discusses the challenges ahead in bringing this technology into the clinic for therapeutic use.
