Portrait of Joana Dias, Ph.D.

Biography

Dr. Dias studies HIV therapeutic strategies in preclinical non-human primate (NHP) models. Her research focuses on understanding the virological and immunological effects of broadly neutralizing antibodies administered in the acute phase of simian HIV (SHIV) infection. Dr. Dias has also identified and characterized the Fiebig-equivalent stages of SHIV infection in rhesus macaques to facilitate extrapolation of NHP studies to the clinics (Dias et al., Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2021).
