Dylan’s main research interests include understanding how HIV-1 establishes and maintains latent infection, and how biological insights into this could be leveraged to reverse latent infection in the interest of allowing host immune mechanisms to clear infected cells – a strategy commonly referred to as the ‘Shock and Kill’ HIV cure strategy. To study this, he employs a mixture of standard molecular biology techniques, flow cytometry, genomics, transcriptomics and, most recently, epigenomics.
