Antiretroviral drugs reduce morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV however there is currently no cure for HIV. I will undertake a series of studies that will contribute to HIV cure research in Australia. This includes describing novel strategies to identify and measure residual dormant HIV in individuals on suppressive antiretroviral therapy, determining the effect of cancer drugs on dormant HIV, and exploring the attitudes of people living with HIV towards cure research.
Adapting Pandemic Influenza Interventions And Management To The Newly-emerged Virus

Summary
The Australian Health Management Plan for Pandemic Influenza is based on data from past and current influenza. A newly-emerged influenza strain is likely to differ in some respects. This project will develop practical ways to adapt the management plan to the emerged virus from early pandemic data. It will determine the data needed to do this efficiently, to ensure that Australia receives the greatest benefit from its antiviral drugs, vaccines and other public health interventions introduced.
