Our results suggest that decreasing viral fitness may synergize with bNAbs when treating HIV infection. However,I want to stress that all of this work was done in humanized mice and in vitro, which may not entirely recapitulate results we might see in actual humans.
Our latest manuscript just came out in @ImmunityCP describing over a decade of work in the lab studying HIV evolution and escape from HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mgR9_OR%7Ey…
Balazs Lab retweeted
“We believe this insight will be crucial for the development of future HIV therapies that employ combinations of antibodies that can exert orthogonal selective pressure on the virus." Read More: ragoninstitute.org/2026/02/balazs…

Congratulations to Ragon faculty member Alex Balazs, PhD, on his promotion to Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School! #RagonInstitute #Faculty #Immunology #HIVResearch #COVID19 #Harvard
Proud to share our latest paper on SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and the variants that have emerged (and continue to emerge). Bottom line is the latest versions of the mRNA boosters are doing a pretty good job of keeping up with variants. cell.com/cell-reports-m…
We are looking for postdocs interested in working on this project to engineer polyclonal vectored antibody delivery!
