Dr. Badley discusses research results in his Human Immunodeficiency Virus Lab at Mayo Clinic. Exploring patient responses to HIV

Dr. Badley's lab is committed to exploring how HIV infection modifies the host immune response, causing the death of some people but not all.

Overview

The research laboratory of Andrew D. Badley, M.D., focuses on translating clinical observations by performing basic science experiments to understand the mechanistic basis underlying those observations. This approach has led the laboratory in many varied and unpredicted directions, including describing two novel molecules:

  • TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) short, an antagonistic TRAIL splice variant.
  • Casp8p41, a fragment of caspase-8 that is produced through the action of HIV protease.
