Congratulations to Research Associate Sook-Kyung Lee from the Swanstrom Lab who received a R21 grant from National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Sook-Kyung Lee has received a 2 year R21 grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The grant title is 鈥淣ew and Simple Assay to Measure Latent HIV Reservoir Using Deep Sequencing Method鈥�
Sook-Kyung Lee is currently a research associate in the lab of , professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Wei-Shau Hu in the HIV Drug Resistance Program at National Cancer Institute in Frederick, Maryland. Dr. Lee鈥檚 research focuses on uncovering resistance pathways to Darunavir-based potent HIV-1 protease inhibitors using deep sequencing method, developing an assay to accurately measure the latent HIV-1 reservoir, and developing a method to enhance the induction efficiency of HIV-1 proviruses in resting CD4+ T cells.
