Dr. Wohl is an associate professor of medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill, and co-directs HIV services for the North Carolina Department of Corrections. Dr. Wohl is an investigator in the NIAID-sponsored AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) and a member of the ACTG Complications of HIV Disease Research Agenda Committee. His research focuses on metabolic and infectious complications of HIV and its therapies, as well as issues related to medication adherence and access to care — particularly among incarcerated inmates with HIV infection.

Dr. Eron is a professor of medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill. He serves as the director of the clinical core for the UNC Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) and the associate director of the General Clinical Research Unit. His research interests are focused primarily on the study of HIV/AIDS. His current research interests include clinical development of combination antiretroviral therapy including novel agents, HIV resistance to antiretroviral therapy and the use of resistance testing and pharmacokinetic assessment to construct success therapy in treatment experienced patients. Dr. Eron’s newer areas of investigation include development of a clinical/research HIV relational database in collaboration with SAS, development of a therapeutic HIV vaccine in conjunction with Robert Johnston Ph.D., and the study of antiretroviral combination therapy in the developing world both for treatment and prevention of transmission in conjunction with Myron S. Cohen, Charles van der Horst and colleagues.
