Viral Genotyping Laboratory

The Viral Genotyping Laboratory conducts genetic analysis of blood-borne viruses for clinical research, surveillance and public health purposes. These activities are predominantly directed to the areas of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug resistance, HIV subtype diversity and hepatitis C virus (HCV) genetic variation. The objectives of the laboratory include the use of genotyping techniques to characterize drug-resistant and atypical HIV strains circulating in New York State, and to investigate of the role of genetic variation in HCV disease progression.
