BIOENGINEERING TOWARDS GLOBAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS

Applied Proteomics , Personalized Medicine, and HIV Prevention

Bioengineering towards Global Health Solutions

We’re Changing the Way the World Thinks About Healthcare

Our method is using Big Data and Bioinformatic Analysis targeted towards Patient-Specific Solutions — because every individual's health should be our priority. Our Interdisciplinary Training in Infectious Disease, HIV Biology, HIV Prevention, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics (Big Data, omics), & Global Health provide us with the tools to do so.

Understanding the Role of Inflammation in HIV Transmission

We've created a three step strategy to best approach these needs.

VACCINE DEVELOPMENT

Determine BCG-mediated inflammatory activation of macrophages

STUDY THE RISK FACTORS

Elucidate the role of non-optimal vaginal microbiome on vaginal inflammation using proteomics and bio-informatic tools.

CONNECT THE DOTS

Determine the role of macrophage activation and cytokine secretion on HIV target T cell activation

The Macrophage: Mediator of Inflammation

A different approach, using an ancient

method of immunity.

Innate immunity (rapid response) vs adaptive immunity (slow response).  There will be about two or three sentences here to appeal to the smart bioengineers like you, and maybe a sentence at the end that sums it up for the average joe's like me. Obviously, I couldn't come up with anything for this section. I'm really struggling to follow these medical terms.
