Robert F. Siliciano's research primarily revolves around the intricate dynamics of HIV, including the decay dynamics of HIV virions and the challenges associated with curing the infection. His recent work includes significant studies on the persistence of viral RNA in lymph nodes, the inducibility of latent HIV-1 proviruses, and the resistance of HIV-1 to host type 1 interferons. His research also explores innovative strategies such as TCR-mimic bispecific antibodies to target HIV-1 reservoirs and engaging innate immunity in HIV-1 cure strategies. Siliciano's work is pivotal in understanding HIV's behavior under antiretroviral therapy and contributes valuable insights into potential therapeutic approaches.Aliases
Robert F. Siliciano is also known by several aliases, including R. Siliciano, R F Siliciano, R. F. Siliciano, Robert Siliciano, Rob Siliciano, R.f. Siliciano, and Robertf . Siliciano.Publication and Citation Metrics
