HIV

Our research into HIV, led by Professor Philip Goulder, is focused on the South African HIV epidemic, with the principal goal of understanding the role of T-cell immunity in successful long-term immune control of HIV infection in adults and children. To this end, the Goulder Group studies cohorts of children and adults attending clinics in South Africa, in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, and also in Kimberley, Northern Cape, in addition to smaller cohorts of HIV-infected study subjects attending clinics in the Thames Valley region in UK

Groups within this theme

Our group’s work is focused on the South African HIV epidemic. Although the group is based in Oxford, we have over the past 20 years developed strong collaborations in Durban and Kimberley, South Africa.
Our group’s major focus is on HIV-infected children; specifically:
(1) the impact of differences in the immune response in adults and children on HIV disease and HIV cure/remission potential in children; and
(2) the impact of sex differences in the immune response, from conception through adolescence, on HIV disease and HIV cure/remission potential in children.
