Past Research Projects

Examples of Past Research Projects:

Agency: NIH/NIMH

Agency Award Number: R01MH085608

To determine the novel role of mannose binding lectin in susceptibility of HIV-1 infection in brain and related neuroinflammation, viral protein accumulation and neurocognitive impairment.

Agency: NIH/NIMH

Agency Award Number: R01MH062962

To investigate the role of alterations in CDK5 signaling pathway in the molecular mechanisms of synapto-dendritic damage triggered by HIV proteins, and to determine the involvement of the CDK5 signaling pathway in the mechanisms of defective neurogenesis triggered by HIV proteins.

Agency: NIH/NIDA

Agency Award Number: Suppl

To examine whether active METH use during the acute phase of HIV infection worsens the depletion of gut-associated lymphocyte tissue (GALT) and therefore increases the risk of micorbial translocation, inflammatory response, and neurocognitive impairment.

Agency: NIH/NIMH
Agency Award Number: R03

To determine if there are differences between the medication adherence abilities of persons with co-occurring bipolar disorder and HIV infection as compared to those with HIV infection alone, and to assess the predictors of nonadherence in these groups.

 

Agency: NIH/HNRC
Agency Award Number: HNRC869

To create a genome-wide microRNA profile in the HIV-infected human frontal cortex and cingulate gyrus.
