Peny Zacharopoulou
DPhil student
I am a DPhil student in Prof John Frater’s group and I am interested in exploring HIV-host interaction and how this might affect the host response in novel therapeutic strategies for HIV cure. Specifically, I investigate broadly neutralising antibody resistance in people who live with HIV and gene signatures that predict time response to treatment.
I completed my BSc in Biomedical Informatics and MSc in Cancer Pathology in Greece before I came to Oxford, where I have spent a few years as a Research Assistant, working first with rare cancers and then with HIV.
