She has considerable scientific expertise in pediatric HIV, basic HIV virology, HIV clinical assays and HIV drug resistance. Dr. Aldrovandi has been awarded the prestigious Elizabeth Glaser Scientist Award for her work on breast milk transmission of HIV-1. More recently, Dr. Aldrovandi has investigated the role of the microbiome in normal infant development, how the microbiome is perturbed by HIV-1, and how the microbiome affects HIV-1 susceptibility at mucosal sites. Her initial interest in the microbiome developed from her studies of breast milk and breast milk transmission of HIV-1. Mother’s actively excrete bacteria and special proteins, human milk oligosaccharides, thought to support the commensal bacterial, to their infants via breast milk. Certain immune cells in the infant gut do not develop until the cells receive signals from the commensal bacteria. It is this complex interplay between mother, infant and microbe that Dr. Aldrovandi is trying to understand through many of her microbiome studies. Additionally, her investigations have expanded to improve the understanding of the microbiome in HIV susceptibility and its role in human disease and treatment response. Dr. Aldrovandi received two bachelor’s degrees and her medical degree from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. She completed an internship and residency at McGill, as well as a research fellowship in pediatric infectious diseases at the University of California, Los Angeles.
