Research :

My work is to decipher the role of Tat-PTM and the RBEIII motif on HIV-1 latency. To evaluate the influence of Tat-PTM on HIV-1 latency, I will generate subsets of cells representing different stages of latency and simultaneously raise Tat-PTM-specific polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. Diverse experimental strategies, including flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, CUT&Tag, Immunoprecipitation, Proximity ligation assay etc., will be used to understand how Tat-PTM might influence HIV-1 latency. I also aim to decipher the influence of the RBEIII motif and its duplication on HIV-1 transcription. To achieve this, I will characterize the functioning of the RBEIII motif of HIV-1C and the nature of the TF profile recruited under various experimental conditions.
