Dr. Peterlin has studied HIV proteins from both structural and functional perspectives for more than two decades. The Peterlin lab uses molecular biology, immunology, virology and genetics to study intractable immunodeficiencies, and made the observation that HIV Tat acts at the level of transcription elongation and operates through an RNA element. His lab has also contributed to understanding the functions and interactions of the Vif and Nef accessory proteins.
