TIME: 3:30 PM LOCATION: GMCS 314 SPEAKER: Naveen K. Vaidya, Mathematics and Statistics, San Diego State University ABSTRACT: The brain is a critical reservoir of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), causing viral persistence under antiretroviral therapy, mainly because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses an obstacle to the entry of antiretroviral drugs into the brain. The presence […]
