The research was also great. In Jonah Sacha’s lab, Shaheed worked on an HIV vaccine using cytomegalovirus (CMV). The vaccine was somewhat unique in that it didn’t prevent infection, but it induced a strong immune response that ultimately clears HIV completely — akin to some of the super-responders he studied earlier.

“It basically controls the infection and then completely clears it. Very unique. No other vaccine I’ve ever seen works in quite that way.”
