Small Molecules That Expose HIV Env Sites To Trigger Targeted Immune Killing
This technology uses small molecules to bind HIV Env on infected cells, expose hidden sites, and trigger ADCC, enabling the immune system to kill cells that current therapies cannot reach. By improving antibody recognition and reducing infectious virus production, it provides a complementary approach that directly targets infected cells rather than...

A Potent HIV Treatment with Low Toxicity
A small-molecule class that binds to HIV particles to improve immune response and block viral entry into cells. Problem: 37 million people worldwide currently live with HIV and an estimated 2-3 million new infections occur annually. While antiretroviral therapies do exist for those with the disease, therapy interruption leads to the re-emergence of...
