About

Dr. De Paris is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. The research in the De Paris lab is centered around HIV. The lab is pursuing HIV prevention studies with the goal to understand the determinants that drive the development of broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV by vaccination. A second area of HIV research is focused on HIV in pregnancy to define biological mechanisms that are associated with higher risk of adverse birth outcomes in women with HIV.

Closely linked to this area of research is an interest in the link between infant immune development and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases in healthy infants and/or infants born to mothers with HIV.
