Bio
Emerging infectious diseases, including HIV and SARS, are defined as uncontrollable outbreaks of infectious diseases to break down public health. Taisuke Izumi, PhD, focuses his research at American University with the aim to understand the persistence of HIV and SARS-CoV2 infections, which leads to developing an HIV functional cure strategy and treatment of long-term COVID-19 effects.
In addition, chronic herpesvirus infections, such as KSHV and EBV, are being investigated under microgravity conditions using a unique cell culture device.
