HIV-2 Research Lab

Jun 2011 - Jul 2012
As an undergraduate lab tech in the Gottlieb, HIV-2 Lab, I helped graduate student Dana Raugi in her research on "Protease and hyper-susceptibility phenotypes conferred by single amino acid changes in HIV-2 Protease". This research was presented at the CROI 2012 conference in Seattle, WA. I also assisted Dr. Robert Smith, performing PCR with HIV-2 Pro-RT, QuikChange IIXL site directed mutagenesis, plasmid Maxi Preps, interpretation of data and preliminary prepping for sequencing and testing of these HIV-2 viral plasmids. Publication: R.A. Smith, D.N. Raugi, C. Pan, M. Coyne, A. Hernandez, B. Church, K. Parker, J.I. Mullins, P.S. Sow and G.S. Gottlieb, for the University of Washington–Dakar HIV-2 Study Group (2012).
