I completed a degree in Haematology looking at a project aimed at investigating the molecular mechanisms of HIV-induced Burkitt's lymphoma development. This is a highly relevant cancer in South Africa, which has the highest burden of HIV infection worldwide. Here we investigated how HIV-1 proteins Tat and Nef affect the growth and metabolism of normal human B lymphocytes and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved.
