  • Are We Standing in Our Own Way on the Path to a Cure for HIV/AIDS
    PROFILE Are we standing in our own way on the path to a cure for HIV/AIDS lthough there are many reasons to celebrate the life-extending benefits from antiretroviral Atherapeutics (ART) for HIV/AIDS and the ability to chronically manage patients’ disease for decades, the majority of people around the world living with the virus do not have access to ART and those that do, have over decades developed life-threatening side effects. Our inability to identify a cure to HIV lies not only in the as-of- yet failure of the medical research community to identify and develop appropriate means of ridding the body of the virus but also government and industrial policies that promote public opinion exclusively focused on chronic management scenarios instead of broadly exploring innovation for cure. “An inconvenient truth” (Davis Guggenheim) mates of the magnitude of the global forced government policy for early epidemic. As the majority of Ameri - and expanded access to experimental There are approximately 37 million cans are not rountinely tested for HIV, drugs, the medical community and people living with HIV and 39 million the virus can go years without being society are struggling with the fact have died of AIDS-related diseases diagnosed in an HIV positive person. that we are barely managing the HIV since the start of the epidemic in 1981.

Two main strategies are being pursued Eradication, which will require a complete elimination of infected cells, for which the Berlin patient represents a proof of concept. Considering the Boston patients, eradication will require elimination of HIV infected cells and replacement with HIV resistant cells. Remission: HIV controllers and the VISCONTI patients suggest that remission is achievable. This strategy should include monitoring of inflammatory and procoagulant indices. – Find and diminish size of the reservoir (LRAs, bNAbs, CAR-T cell) – Reduce seeding of latent pool with early/more ART – Reverse latency (LRAs, TLR7) – Increase HIV-specific immune function (vaccines or anti PD-L1) – Reduce immune activation – Gene therapy targeting the virus and the host – Allogeneic stem cell transplantation Combination therapy may be necessary While proof-of-concepts are there, we still have to gain important knowledge to achieve HIV eradication or remission Strategies to eradicate latent reservoirs.

  • (Rftca) Accelerates a Global Cure for Aids with License of Chromocell’S Proprietary Cell Engineering Technology
    RESEARCH FOUNDATION TO CURE AIDS (RFTCA) ACCELERATES A GLOBAL CURE FOR AIDS WITH LICENSE OF CHROMOCELL’S PROPRIETARY CELL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY • The Chromovertâ Technology platform provides an opportunity to create a scalable cell therapy cure for HIV/AIDS by enabling the purification of sufficient numbers of curative cells following the use of other biotechnologies already demonstrated to engineer cells that mimic natural biological resistance to HIV/AIDS; • With this technology, RFTCA will establish a new and charitable non-for-profit research incubator hub in order to research, develop and commercialize a safe and scalable cure for all those in need, regardless of ability to pay; • Chromovert Technology was invented at The Rockefeller University by Kambiz Shekdar, Ph.D., and is pioneered and owned by Chromocell Corporation, a life sciences company that was spun-out of the university. September 4, 2019 – NEW YORK, NY. – Research Foundation to Cure AIDS (RFTCA) has obtained a worldwide license to biotechnology known as Chromovertâ Technology, to research, develop and commercialize a cure for HIV/AIDS. This is the first and only case of an IRS Code § 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization holding rights to biotechnology with the promise to cure AIDS. RFTCA’s mission is to develop an AIDS cure and to make it available and affordable to all of the 37 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide. The emphasis in the medical community, until recently, has been on containing the AIDS epidemic with treatment and prevention alone. But recent advances in stem cell biology and cellular engineering have created new opportunities that could lead to a global cure.
