Controling HIV Evolution on Futures in Biotech, TWiT.TV

Dr. Ronald Collman talks about exciting new discoveries on HIV, the virus that has taken 25 million lives.

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 that can sustain 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. Dr. Ronald Collman describes the molecular structure, pathology, and with great insight, the incredible discoveries that might just help us conquer HIV.
