Here are some of the research highlights:<\/span><\/p>\n

Using cART and CRISPR\/Cas9 to eradicate HIV in animal model<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Howard Gendelman, MD,<\/strong> pharmacology & experimental neuroscience, has received a National Institutes of Health award for $779,000 from the National Institute of Mental Health for a study that utilizes an animal model of HIV infection to determine if combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and gene delivery of a CRISPR\/Cas9 would eradicate HIV from its central nervous system and peripheral reservoirs. He also has received support from UNeMed, the technology transfer & commercialization office for UNMC, for a study titled, "Long acting GM-CSF for Parkinson’s disease."<\/span><\/p>\n
