Research Focus
Dr. Jessica Robinson-Papp's lab at the Icahn School of Medicine focuses on understanding how HIV affects the body's autonomic nervous system and its implications for gastrointestinal and immune health. They study how autonomic neuropathy, a nerve dysfunction associated with HIV, can lead to inflammation and serious health issues. By examining both the gastrointestinal tract and immune response, the lab aims to uncover new ways to better assess and manage these complications in people living with HIV.
