RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Davis' primary interest is in HIV, immunotherapy for the treatment of HIV, cell-cycle modification
to control HIV replication and as an adjunct to augment the activity of
nucleoside analogues in the treatment of HIV, and complementary therapy
for HIV treatment.
Dr. Davis is extensively
involved in clinical research, both, sponsored and unsponsored.
Current clinical trials include Phase I/II evaluation of potential vaccine
candidates for HIV immunotherapy; and Phase I clinical trials of a natural
product found in the skin of red grapes which augment the suppressive activity
of HIV-1 in vitro.
