Transmission - Model systems
Brandon F. Keele, PhD, is a senior scientist in the AIDS and Cancer Virus Program at SAIC-Frederick at the National Cancer Institute. He currently heads the Viral Evolution and Genomics Core and is studying viral transmission and viral evolution in HIV infected humans and SIV infected macaques. Dr. Keele has recently discovered that the vast majority of HIV-1 infections occur due to a single founder virus. Currently he is utilizing a non-human primate model to identify the ...
