Dr Celine Gubser is a postdoctoral researcher in the Immunomodulation group within the laboratory of Professor Sharon Lewin. Her work focuses on novel immune modulating agents and their ability to boost HIV directed immune responses and eliminate latently infected cells. Celine accomplished her medical studies in 2011 and obtained her PhD at the University of Basel, Switzerland, in 2015 where she studied the suppressive mechanisms of regulatory T cells and T cell tolerance under Professor Ed Palmer. There after she did a 2-year assignment as registrar in internal medicine at the University hospital Basel.

Key Achievements
Research Groups
-
Celine was awarded a Novartis research fellowship in 2018 to undertake her postdoctoral studies in HIV cure research. Her PhD work helped understand the molecular mechanism underlaying the affinity threshold for negative selection.* She further studied how peripheral tolerance is maintained by regulatory T cells showing that the strength of TCR stimulation determined the efficacy of regulatory T cell mediated suppression.

Lewin/Cameron Group
The main focus of the Lewin-Cameron laboratory is to understand why HIV infection persists on antiretroviral therapy, to develop new strategies to eliminate latency and to define the biological determinants of immune reconstitution and factors that drive liver disease in HIV-hepatitis B virus co-infection.
