A pioneering collaborative study has discovered how the HIV virus evades the human body's immune system. The research collaborative -- involving scientists from the British Columbia Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, Massachusetts General Hospital, Microsoft Research and Los Alamos National Laboratory -- used highly computer-intensive, cutting-edge statistical research methods to investigate how the HIV virus mutates to escape the body's immune system.
