Are willing to serve on graduate student committees related to your expertise areas?Yes
Are you interested in collaborative research?Yes
Do you have any biobanks available for collaborative research?Yes
If yes, please provide more details or describe the biobanks available:

I have the CARMA and BCC3 biobanks which contains whole blood, plasma, serum, and limited live PBMCs collected from people living with HIV (majority women) and HIV-negative controls ≥16y. However, I have co-PIs and we have a process to access these specimens. Further, a third or so of samples are from Indigenous persons, and even though biobanked, these would not be accessible for genetic/genomic studies, and would undergo a more stringent review process.

Do you have any other equipment or resources available for collaborative research?Yes
If yes, please provide more details or describe the equipment and resources available:
