Angela Ciuffi

Angela Ciuffi is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Microbiology of the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and the University of Lausanne (UNIL), in Switzerland. She is also the director of the School of Biology of the Faculty of Biology and Medicine at the University of Lausanne.

Angela Ciuffi obtained her PhD at the University of Lausanne and received post-doctoral training in Prof. Frederic Bushman’s laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania and in Prof. Amalio Telenti’s laboratory at the Lausanne University Hospital. Her research focuses on HIV-host interactions in the context of HIV replication, integration, latency, and innate immunity. Her current work uses cutting-edge approaches and technologies, including epitranscriptomic and single-cell analyses, to further characterize the HIV-host cell interplay, capture the cell heterogeneity in response to HIV infection and identify cellular signatures associated with specific HIV-related phenotypes.
