Robert Gallo

2021-01-26 / Dr. Robert Gallo is an experienced scientist who has made groundbreaking discoveries since the Nixon era. Robert Gallo began his career by fighting the established orthodoxy to prove that retroviruses exist in humans, and he was the first to identify a human retrovirus – human T cell leukemia virus, the only virus known to cause leukemia. This paved the way to his most notorious accomplishment: the discovery that HIV was the cause of AIDS, and the further development of HIV blood test. Gallo, who is the director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, continues to search for answers to the mysteries that have vexed him for decades – he now oversees several ongoing studies, including a promising HIV vaccine trial in humans.Dr. Robert Gallo was joined by three panelists: Prof, Anders Vahlne, Prof. Jan Lötvall and Assoc. Prof Peter Horal.Vill du stötta vårt arbete? Du kan bli medlem i Vetenskapsforum Covid-19 här: vetcov19.se/bli-medlem/Du kan även donera till vårt arbete: vetcov19.se/donera/

What happened to George Floyd has unfortunately been happening to black men pretty much since the founding of the United States.  Things were supposed to change after the civil rights movement of the 1960's, but they didn't.  Again we expected things to change after the beating of Rodney King and the resulting L.A. riots.......and again, nothing fundamentally changed.The deaths of Michael Brown, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and so many more black men within just the past few years were all supposed to bring about changes......and they didn't.  So this time, in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, can institutional racism be changed in this country.......can this time be different? We'll check in on Minneapolis where friends and family have been honoring George Floyd in a very emotional memorial service.  And we'll head to Washington D.C. where the White House has been turned into a fortress of sorts with layers of fencing and security.And the last time we checked in on Dr. Robert Gallo, one of the pioneers of HIV-AIDS research in the 1980's, he was hard at work trying to develop a coronavirus vaccine based on an old polio drug.  Dr. Gallo is back with us to give an update and talk about the challenges of manufacturing and distributing a vaccine to hundreds of millions of people.See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

And Christiane speaks to Caroline Criado Perez, author of "Invisible Women" and Dr Sharon Moalem, author of "The Better Half" about why early statistics suggest that the coronavirus is killing more men than women.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

«L’epidemia in corso in Italia non è esattamente come quella che si è verificata in Cina. E non credo sia scontato che il nuovo coronavirus si diffonderà in maniera sostenuta anche al Sud perché, mappamondo alla mano, stiamo notando una diffusione da Est a Ovest e viceversa, piuttosto che da Nord a Sud. Se guardiamo appunto il globo, vediamo che il virus, ad esempio, non si è diffuso in Russia, come nemmeno in Africa. Non sappiamo ancora perché, forse è un fattore legato alle temperature, forse no. Ma è un elemento che ha senso tenere in considerazione».  Lo ha detto in un’intervista all’Adnkronos Salute Robert Gallo, fra gli scopritori, negli anni ’80, del virus dell’Aids e del primo test per diagnosticare l’Hiv, oggi direttore dell’Institute of Human Virology presso la University of Maryland (Usa).
