FiB Episode 032 - Controlling HIV Evolution
Monday, June 2, 2008 at 05:58PM Dr. Ronald Collman talks about the science of HIV, the virus that has taken 25 million lives.
Host: Marc Pelletier
Guest: Dr. Ronald Collman; Professor of Medicine in Microbiology, Virus/Cell/Molecular Core Director, Penn Center for AIDS Research, University of Pennsylvania.
It is looking like the summer of 2008 will be an amazing summer for science. The Phoenix Mars Mission and NASA have successfully landed their probe on the martian arctic, in search for the conditions for life (FiB24), the personal genome project, run by Dr. George Church, is braving us forward into a new era human genomics (FiB29), and lastly, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is getting readied to explore the origins of the big bang, and may just unravel the ultimate theory of everything (FiB31). Nevertheless, a large cloud hangs over humanity, which has taken over 25 million lives. **WARNING: HARDCORE BIOTECH DISCUSSION**. Dr. Ronald Collman describes the molecular structure, pathology, and with great insight, the incredible discoveries that might just help us conquer HIV.
