Our paper on the second Berlin patient came out in Nature today and I’m really happy we can share this story on World AIDS Day. I want to thank everyone on the team and all co-authors for their work over the years. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our preprint is out! Q4ddPCR is a 4-target ddPCR assay for high-resolution HIV reservoir profiling validated on proviral sequences and across multiple cohorts. It supports HIV cure trials where precision matters. Thanks to Rachel Scheck, Brad Jones & all co-authors. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Q4ddPCR (May the Fourth Be Precise): A Flexible, 4-Target Assay for High-Resolution HIV Reservoir Profiling

Precise and scalable quantification of the genetically intact HIV reservoir is critical for advancing curative strategies. However, current HIV reservoir assays such as the intact proviral DNA assay (...

IAS 2025 has officially kicked off in Kigali. The opening session was very moving and powerful reminder of what’s at stake. Strong (mostly female) voices from across the HIV response, and a powerful community protest (“We will not be erased”) resonated deeply.

We are currently recruiting a bioinformatics/computational biology postdoc to join the infrastructure project of a newly funded large research consortium (SFB-TRR) on Circadian Medicine between Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Universität zu Lübeck ⌚ ⏰ ⏱️ 🕰️ !

When governments stop funding clinical guidelines, who will step in? Guideline support by independent governmental scientific bodies aims to ensure high quality & independence from commercial interests. These recommendations provide critical guidance for health care providers worldwide. #HIV #NIH

Administration to phase out NIH support of HIV clinical guidelines

The National Institutes of Health will phase out its support of the clinical practice guidelines that advise doctors how to diagnose and treat HIV.

"We condemn the censoring of science!". Powerful opening words from Diane Havlir for #croi2025 "Young researchers, we have your back. Community, we are with you" Hell yes!!!

A powerful talk by Rebecca Denison, founder of WORLD and woman living with HIV. We can't go back to the days without treatment access. Silence is death. And courage is a decision. The hall erupted in a standing ovation. #CROI2025

🚨 Drastic cuts to global health funding are leaving millions without essential HIV services. Young people, key populations, and marginalized communities are being abandoned. Millions are at risk. Act now, save lives! Learn more: 🔗 bit.ly/41CDnrD #ZeroDiscrimination

HIV - Heilung in Sicht? Sehr informativer und differenzierter Artikel in der @taz.de über die Fortschritte und Herausforderungen in der HIV-Forschung & Therapie und der Lange Weg zur Heilung. @cgaebler.bsky.social gibt spannende Einblicke in seine Forschung an der Klinik f. Infektiologie #Charité

HIV-Forschung: Kurz vor der Heilung?

Einst bedeutete Aids den Tod, heute ist es eine gut behandelbare Erkrankung. Aber heilen lässt sie sich noch nicht. In Berlin will man das ändern.
