The Canadian Institutes of Health Research has given Keith Fowke and Adam Burgener and their teams each $2 million for their work at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences.
Medical microbiologist Fawke and his team will spend the next five years looking into how anti-retroviral and anti-inflammatory medications like asprin can prevent new HIV infections.
Burgener, an obstetrics and gynecology professor, and his team will use the money over the next five years to research how a microbiome in the human body interacts with HIV drugs.
