Emerging infectious diseases, including HIV and SARS, are defined as uncontrollable outbreaks of infectious diseases to break down public health.
Taisuke Izumi, PhD, focuses his research at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ with the aim to understand the persistence of HIV and SARS-CoV2 infections, which leads to developing an HIV functional cure strategy and treatment of long-term COVID-19 effects.
In addition, chronic herpesvirus infections, such as KSHV and EBV, are being investigated under microgravity conditions using a unique cell culture device.
