Hear From Our Researchers
#TomorrowsDiscoveries: Living a Fuller Life with HIV – Dr. Justin McArthur
40% of those living with HIV experience memory, attention and decision-making impairments. Dr. McArthur has studied the disease for over 35 years and continues to explore therapies to prevent or reverse these cognitive impairments.
#TomorrowsDiscoveries: Regulating the Brain’s Inflammatory Response – Dr. Norman Haughey
In response to certain infections, the immune system triggers inflammation. Over long periods of time, this inflammation can harm the nervous system. Dr. Haughey's lab is working to uncover the mechanisms behind this response.
