Pleuni Pennings from San Francisco State University came to Pittsburgh

We were lucky to have Dr. Pleuni Pennings come give a seminar in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics this week on the evolution of HIV-1 drug resistance evolution. While she was here, we had a half day think tank with Pleuni and Ling Lin's lab, during which discussed our projects together on HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis co-infection and how the two pathogens affect each other's replication as well as host immunity and disease course. We analyzed all of our data and planned upcoming experiments. We have exciting data that we look forward to publishing in the near future. Thanks for the fruitful visit, Pleuni!
