Weaponizing the Immune System
Dr. Goldstein’s NIH-funded research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine centers on developing agents to amplify the capacity of the immune system to control HIV infection.
In seeking to “weaponize” the immune system to cure HIV, the lab uses molecular, cellular, and biochemical approaches, including CAR-T cells and the novel treatment strategy developed by Dr. Almo at Einstein for selective T cell amplification called synTac (synthetic T-cell activation).
