Welcome to our website

Greetings from Dr. Wu

 

The Wu’s laboratory was established in the Summer of 2004. The laboratory studies HIV-1 infection of human immune cells such as CD4 T cells and macrophages. HIV-1, the human immunodeficiency virus, attacks cells in the immune system and causes AIDS, which affectes more than 30 million people worldwide.

Our research focuses on viral-host interaction, as well as on the development of novel therapeutics. As you will see from the "Our Research" and "Our Publications" links, we have a dynamic research program, and are making ground breaking discoveries. The lab will continuously push new frontiers in the better understanding of the virus, and thus better tools can be developed to fight the disease.

For potential graduate students and postdoctoral associates, please also take a moment to browse through the "Lab Members" section. We have very creative lab members and a dynamic research team. Our members are mostly highly motivated young graduate students from GMU. Our lab manager, Paul Vorster and the lab technician, Dongyang Yu, are the lifeline and leaders for the graduate students. The lab has regular outings and outdoor activities to promote teamwork and good communication.
