NeuroAIDS and other End-organ Diseases Study Section [NAED]

[NAED Membership Roster] [NAED Meeting Rosters]

The NAED Study Section reviews applications on the effects of HIV/AIDS on the nervous system and other organs systems, as well as the biological effects of drug abuse in the context of HIV/AIDS. Emphasis is on the basic biological and mechanistic studies, rather than clinical aspects. Specific areas covered by NAED are:

Neurovirology, neuroimmunology, neuroendocrinology, behavioral immunology, and neuroimaging related to pathogenesis of HIV (and related retroviruses).
Cell and molecular biology of HIV in CNS and other non-lymphoid organ systems.
Physiology and cell biology of cytokine-hormonal interactions in CNS and other end-organ disease in AIDS.
Studies of effects of used and abused substances and neuroactive drugs on establishment of infection, immunopathogenesis, neuropathogenesis, and HIV disease progression.
Studies of HIV-induced cardiomyopathy, renal disease, pulmonary dysfunction and other end-organ pathology

Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

AIDS Immunology and Pathogenesis (AIP)
AIDS Clinical Studies and Epidemiology (ACE)
Behavioral and Social Consequences of HIV/AIDS (BSCH)
