New York, NY, United States
Dr. Caskey is a Professor of Clinical Investigation at The Rockefeller University. Her work focuses on the development and clinical evaluation of novel immunotherapeutic strategies against infectious diseases, with a special emphasis on HIV. She has led clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy of broadly neutralizing anti-HIV antibodies. These studies have revitalized this area of HIV research. Broadly neutralizing antibodies are now considered one of the most promising strategies to achieve HIV remission, as well as potential alternatives to antiretrovirals for both therapy and prevention.
