Dr. Lichtenstein conducts epidemiologic research in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on outcomes in HIV infection. Main area of interest is the role of the virus and the state of chronic inflammation induced by the virus on HIV-associated co-morbidities such as lipodystrophy, cardiovascular disease, endocrinologic disorders, and nucleoside-associated toxicities.
