Oregon Health & Science University researcher Jonah Sacha, Ph.D., led a nonhuman primate study that helped explain how five people who underwent stem cell transplants have been cured of HIV. The study’s findings may bring scientists closer to developing what they hope will become a widespread cure for the virus that causes AIDS. (OHSU/Christine Torres Hicks)
