Last week Michael and Johanna had the chance to present our latest HIV work at the 16th HIV Workshop in beautiful Rome. A nice opportunity to discuss new ideas and connect with colleagues from the field. Thanks for the inspiring meeting!

@unaids.org's report warns of a ‘perilous moment’ for the HIV response. Without renewed commitment & sustained investment, decades of progress towards ending AIDS could be at risk. The report highlights the impact of disruptions to global funding & the political choices needed to put people first.

"There's no question that this is the most serious disruption in the HIV response since the world came together to fight this disease." - Winnie Byanyuma, Executive Director, UNAIDS

Had an excellent time at the @lstmnews.bsky.social @pintofscience.uk #pint26 event presenting on #HIVcure and the current state of #HIV #AIDS. A great evening focussed on discussions of equity in global health and the paths toward this

HIV-1 Vpr does more than degrade cellular proteins! Johanna and Carlos dug deeper and found that Vpr activates the transcription factor NFAT to reprogram T cells. Nearly half of Vpr-deregulated genes were NFAT-controlled, and NFAT inhibition eased Vpr-induced G2 arrest and reduced HIV-1 replication.
