Tony Kelleher is Director of the Kirby Institute, UNSW Sydney. He is a clinician scientist, trained in internal medicine and pathology.
He has played a role in multiple phase I- to phase IV clinical trials and cohort studies exploring the treatment and prevention of HIV infection, especially in the conduct of correlative immuno-virological studies. He has established novel assays for the measurement of CD4+ T cell responses, and the use of fine needle biopsies of lymph nodes to study both immune responses and the HIV reservoir. He is also exploring an siRNA based “block and lock” strategy for the control of the viral reservoir.
