SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nadia Roan, PhD, who first came to Gladstone Institutes as a postdoctoral scholar in 2007 and has been a visiting scientist since 2012, is now joining the biomedical research institution as an associate investigator. Her work focuses on HIV and the immune system, and has recently broadened to understanding the immune response to infection by SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Using technologies that allow her to track the immune system one cell at a time, Roan has been identifying the cells that HIV prefers to infect and the cells where the virus hides in individuals on antiretroviral therapy.

"I'm delighted that Nadia is joining our team as an investigator," says Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, who directs the institute and recruited Roan. "She is a very talented scientist and has been a wonderful colleague over the years. Her deep knowledge of immunology and human pathologies, along with her expertise in state-of-the-art technology for the analysis of single cells, make her a great asset for our institute and a wonderful inspiration for our trainees."

"I'm happy for this opportunity to run a lab in such a collaborative environment, and alongside colleagues with such wide-ranging expertise," says Roan, who is also an associate professor of urology at UC San Francisco (UCSF). "And with Gladstone's combination of basic and translational research, I feel like my work truly has the potential to lessen human suffering."

"Nadia is an excellent addition to our group of outstanding scientists," says Gladstone President Deepak Srivastava, MD. "Her dogged pursuit of the mechanisms by which HIV infects cells and hides from treatment is opening new paths toward a cure. Her work directly contributes to Gladstone's mission to drive a new era of discovery in disease-oriented science."

As a child, the Berkeley native liked dance and soccer, and although her dad was a mathematician, she was not inspired to follow in his footsteps. "I would accompany him at conferences, and thought mathematicians were really odd people," she recalls jokingly.

Her call came in college, when instead of taking a summer job as a camp counselor, she unexpectedly landed a paid undergrad internship in the lab of UC Berkeley protein biochemist Tom Alber. He treated her not just like a pair of hands, but like a budding scientist, and she ended up working in his lab for the next 3 years.

"Tom gave me my own project, which was really exciting," Roan recalls. "I wasn't just helping others with bits and pieces. From the beginning, I was told: 'This is the fundamental problem that we have. This is why it's important to address this problem. How should we go about it?'"

She loved being handed a problem and having the freedom to design her own way to try address it. She also learned about the academic career path, of which she had so far little idea. And she was hooked. She went directly to graduate school at Harvard after completing her undergraduate training at UC Berkeley.

At the end of her PhD, Roan wanted to continue working on T cells, a type of immune cells that play a central role in orchestrating the body's response to a foreign invader. She also wanted to tackle a major public health problem. So, she moved back to the Bay Area and joined Warner Greene's lab as a postdoc to learn more about HIV, a virus that targets T cells.

"HIV/AIDS is not a solved disease," says Roan. "When individuals go off antiretroviral therapy, almost inevitably, within a period of a few weeks, the virus comes back, which is why HIV therapy is still a lifelong one."

The reason the virus comes back is that even after the treatment, some virus remains hidden in a reservoir of so-called latently infected cells. In these cells, the virus is mostly dormant, but it can wake up on occasion and initiate a new round of infection.

One of Roan's goals is to help develop a cure for HIV by finding ways to eliminate latently infected cells. But these cells are both vanishingly rare and invisible to most detection methods, making them difficult to target. 152ee80cbc
