Research summary
AI-generated

Tai-Wei Li's research focuses on how HIV-1 infects and persists in immune cells, particularly CD4+ T-cells, looking at host proteins and viral mutations that influence viral latency, gene expression, and control of infection in certain patients (called 'elite controllers') who naturally suppress the virus without treatment. One publication also examined the toxicity of an antibiotic compound to marine mussels, suggesting some work outside the primary HIV research focus.
