A new episode of Futures in Biotech is available, this time featuring Marc Pelletier on his own speaking with Dr. Ronald Desrosiers of the New England Primate Research Center. Together the two discuss Desrosiers’ discovery of SIV, the simian counterpart to HIV which turned out to be the closest relative to HIV we’ve found to date, and what its discovery can mean to HIV study, vaccine research, and the potential for treatments against the disease.
