Luc Montagnier and Francoise Barre-Sinoussi, recent Nobel laureates for the discovery of HIV. Dr. Laurence was first author on their 1984 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine further documenting LAV/HIV as the cause of AIDS, and identifying a carrier state for HIV infection. His current work focuses on the mechanisms by which HIV affects endothelial cells and osteoclasts, in models for microvascular thrombosis and osteoporosis linked to HIV infection and its treatment. He also has a long-standing interest in clotting disorders associated with microvessel injury, including TTP and aHUS. Dr. Laurence is also involved in a gene therapy project, by which anti-HIV anti-sense genes are inserted into the stem cells of advanced AIDS patients who are recalcitrant to drug therapy.
