Research interest


My main research interests are HIV-2 physiopathology and reservoir. Indeed, the laboratory is the virological coordinator of the cohort ANRS HIV-2 with over 1 000 patients included, the larger HIV-2 cohort in Northern countries. I develop several methods to determine HIV-2 reservoir and study the role of the defence cellular protein APOBEC3 and its control by the vif viral gene in HIV-2 physiopathology. I am also involved in studying HIV resistance using both Sanger and NGS technologies. I also participate to the management in the laboratory of the ANRS clinical trials conducted in our hospital.
