AIDS-associated Opportunistic Infections and Cancer Study Section [AOIC] (Formerly AARR-4)

[AOIC Roster]

The AIDS-associated Opportunistic Infections and Cancer [AOIC] Study Section reviews applications on opportunistic infections and cancers associated with HIV and AIDS. The science encompasses pathogenesis, immune responses, animal models, and molecular epidemiology and molecular characterization of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections and cancers. This Study Section also reviews applications that focus on the interactions of opportunistic infections and cancers with HIV infection, and those focused on the identification and development of targets for therapy and prophylaxis for opportunistic infections. Proposals should address opportunistic infections in the context of HIV infection/AIDS.

Specific areas covered by AOIC:

Molecular, cellular, and tissue-based studies of pathogenesis of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections, including viral pathogens
Studies of interactions among multiple pathogens
Studies of pathogenesis of HIV/AIDS- associated cancers, including animal models
Animal models of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections
Immunology of AIDS-associated opportunistic infections
Molecular and genetic epidemiology as related to opportunistic infections and AIDS-associated neoplasms
Discovery/identification of therapeutic targets for AIDS-associated opportunistic infections

AOIC has the following shared interests within the AARR IRG:

Studies dealing with the microbiology of the opportunistic infections, especially their pathogenesis, are reviewed by AOIC, whereas those assigned to ADDT cover targeted screening, natural products isolation, and characterization and drug development after anti-microbial/viral activity has been established.
