Scientia Professor Anthony Kelleher is a clinician scientist and the Director of the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney. He graduated in Medicine from UNSW in 1986 and specialized in internal medicine and pathology at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney during the HIV epidemic, qualifying as a Clinical Immunologist and Immunopathologist in 1995. Professor Kelleher completed his PhD in 1997, focusing on the modulation of the immune system in HIV-infected individuals and investigating therapeutic vaccines. His work has included significant observations on CD4+ T cell responses in patients receiving potent anti-retroviral therapy and the co-evolution of HIV and immune responses during his post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford. Since returning to Sydney in 2001, he has played a pivotal role in developing and conducting clinical trials for both treatment and prevention of HIV infections, particularly through innovative approaches such as fine needle biopsies of lymph nodes. His current research interests also include gene therapy for controlling HIV reservoirs and the immunological impacts of COVID-19.
