Funded Activity Summary

HIV-1 causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, with up to 40 million infected people and 5 million infected annually. The spatio-temporal regulation of HIV-1 reverse transcription has recently been recognised as a possible new drug target. Our research has revealed a novel repressor of reverse transcripiton (RRT). The RRT plays a major role in regulating the spatio-temporal regulation of reverse transcripiton. Targetting the RRT function would be a novel means to combat HIV-1 infection.
