Biography

Suryaram Gummuluru is a Professor at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, where he conducts research primarily focused on the role of dendritic cells in the initiation and propagation of HIV-1 replication. He investigates how dendritic cells interact with viruses at mucosal surfaces, emphasizing the importance of understanding these interactions for the development of therapeutic strategies against HIV. His recent studies have uncovered novel mechanisms through which HIV attaches to dendritic cells, bypassing conventional endocytic pathways, and the implications of these interactions for the persistence of the virus and potential latent reservoirs. Gummuluru teaches and mentors graduate students within the Graduate Medical Sciences program, guiding their research and academic development. He is also involved in numerous funded projects exploring the virology and immunology of HIV and related infectious diseases, contributing to significant advancements in the field.
