to investigate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) persistence. LabDr. Maud Mavigner is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics

of rhesus macaques. The Mavigner lab is located in the Emory Children's Center Building on Emory’s main campus.
The post-doctoral fellow will join a dynamic and growing team with involvement in large collaborative studies. Research
The key obstacle to cure HIV infection is a reservoir of latently-infected memory CD4+ T cells that persist despite long-term
antiretroviral therapy and is maintained though cellular proliferation. The objective of the proposed projects is to destabilize
the deep core of the persistent viral reservoir by targeting signaling pathways that control the proliferation of long-lived memory
CD4+ T cells. ResponsibilitiesThe post-doctoral fellow will lead a NIH-funded in vivo study in nonhuman primates and
