A critical determinant of interindividual differences in HIV-1 susceptibility and disease progression rates to AIDS is CCR5 expression levels. Delineating the mechanisms that modulate intersubject differences in CCR5 expression levels is thus of indisputable importance and significance for understanding HIV-AIDS pathogenesis, development of effective strategies for treatment, epidemiological studies and vaccination trials.

The objective of this project is to characterize the gene expression of mouse lung CD8 T cells. Dr. Wang???s laboratory at University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) will provide her bioinformatics experience and interdisciplinary expertise in the specific areas of bioinformatics. comparative genomics. and systems biology. to analyze RNA-seq data of mouse lung CD8 T cells. Her team will be involved in the large???scale analysis of genomics and transcriptomics data. and inference of of cellular pathways.

A significant challenge for in vivo genetic engineering is the transmembrane transport of relatively large genetic payloads. Larger molecules and transcription plasmids typically require viral vectors or permeabilizing agents. which can be challenging to engineer and may have deleterious systemic effects. As an alternative approach. electroporation uses ultrashort electrical pulses to transport large molecules across cell membranes. This approach is advantageous in applications such as delivery of DNA vaccines.
