Clive M. Michelo is the lead scientist at the Centre for Family Health Research in Zambia (CFHRZ), Lusaka, Zambia. He previously trained as a postdoctoral fellow through the SANTHE and participated in International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) programmes, including ADVANCE and VISTA, focused on building African-led HIV research capacity.
His research focuses on developing immunological tools and methods to identify CD8 T-cell responses associated with spontaneous HIV-1 viral control.
