David van Bockel is a Senior Research Officer at the Kirby Institute, with a Bachelor of Biotechnology (Hons) and a PhD from St Vincent's Clinical School. His post-doctoral research focuses on co-morbidities associated with viral infections, specifically investigating how immune traits contribute to disease progression and how individuals react to pathogens such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1), Human Papillomavirus (HPV), and tuberculosis. He has developed extensive experience in the field of immunovirology, leading numerous clinical trial projects that necessitate precise laboratory investigations. David is currently supervising a Higher Degree Research candidate whose project centers on understanding the determinants of the HIV-1 viral reservoir dissemination in early chronic infection. He is involved in testing the effect of integrase-inhibitor therapy on the seeding of the HIV-1 reservoir in treatment-naive participants. His research aims to contribute to fundamental basic science with clinical applications, particularly regarding the effects of standard treatments and experimental immunotherapies on infections and vaccinations related to HPV, HIV, and tuberculosis.
