Welcome
The Reynolds laboratory focuses on developing innovative tools for investigating and combating human diseases. Our research is primarily focused on two areas:
(1) Evaluating the virologic and immunologic mechanisms that control AIDS virus replication. We developed a novel model to precisely set the size of latent simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) reservoirs in vivo and are using it to determine how the size of latent viral reservoirs affects an individual’s ability to control virus replication after stopping antiretroviral drug treatment.
(2) Isolating monoclonal antibodies. We developed an efficient method for isolating monoclonal antibodies from memory B cells and employ it to clone antibodies for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
