Research is carried out by three separate groups under supervision of Prof. Hanneke Schuitemaker, Dr. Angélique van ‘t Wout, and Dr. Neeltje Kootstra.
Current research lines in the Laboratory of Viral Immune Pathogenesis:
Viral evolution
Vaccine development
Host cell factors involved in HIV-1 infection
Innate immunity
Clinical monitoring
Lentiviral vectors and gene therapy
