Description:

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time. Retrovirologyawards the annualKT Jeang Retrovirology Prizeto recognize outstanding achievements in the field by mid-career scientists.It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2020 winner:Tatyana Golovkina, for her seminal contributions to retroviral immunology.An editorial briefly outliningthe winner's achievements has beenpublishedhere.Past winners include;S. Goff (2005), J. Sodroski (2006), K. Beemon (2007), B. Berkhout (2008), T. Heidman (2009), M. Malim (2010), M. Matsuoka (2011), M. Benkirane (2013), P. Bieniasz (2015),F. Kirchhoff (2016), M. Emerman (2017), E. Freed (2018), R. Harris (2019). This series will highlight scientific challenges in understanding HIV diversity worldwide, HIV immunopathogenesis research relevant to the developing world and basic biology research that emphasizes the HIV-1 strains that predominate in low- and middle-income countries.Currently open for submissions -Submitan article tothe series. This series will shed light on the important contributions that humanized mouse models have made to fundamental aspects of HIV research, as well as areas of improvement of the current models, how they should be considered in planning future experiments that use these systems, and what might be expected from the next generation of precision small animal models for HIV research.Currently open for submissions -Submit an article tothe series. The Editors-in-Chiefof Retrovirology and Mobile DNAextend an invitation to submit original research articles related toendogenous retroviruses.We hope this will inspire new submissions to the collection that can provide further insights in to the role of endogenous retroviruses in evolution and disease.Currently open for submissions -Submit an article to Retrovirology for the series.

Retroviruses are pleiotropically found in animals. Well-described examples include avian, murine and primate retroviruses.Two human retroviruses are especially important pathogens. These are the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and the human T-cell leukemia virus, HTLV. HIV causes AIDS while HTLV-1 is the etiological agent for adult T-cell leukemia and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. Retrovirology aims to cover comprehensively all aspects of human and animal retrovirus research.

During his PhD Johnson worked with Professor Lawrence Kleiman at the McGill AIDS Centre studying packaging of primer tRNA into HIV. He subsequently moved to Melbourne, Australia to continue work on HIV assembly at the Burnet Institute under the guidance of Professor Suzanne Crowe. He is currently a Professor at the Institute for Glycomics, Griffith University, Gold Coast. He has a broad research portfolio in HIV having studied primer tRNAs in retroviruses, genomic RNA packaging and dimerization, cholesterol and lipids in HIV, viral-host interactions, imaging of HIV and analysis of recombination and mutation in HIV using next generation sequencing. His team pioneered the production of full-length recombinant HIV Gag for biochemical and biophysical analyses of HIV assembly. Recently Johnson and his team have described a pre-entry priming process for HIV. Susan R. Ross, PhDis Sweeney Basic Sciences Professor of and Head of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the UIC College of Medicine. Dr. Ross's research interests are in the genetics of host-virus interactions, particularly retroviruses and new world arenaviruses. Dr. Ross was on the faculty in Biochemistry at UIC from 1983-94. In 1994, she moved to the Microbiology Department at the University of Pennsylvania, where she also served as Associate Dean for Biomedical Graduate Studies from 2002-12. In 2015, she moved to UIC to assume the Head position.Dr. Ross has served on numerous review panels and editorial boards, including the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee of the NIH, Senior Editor for the Journal of Virology, Section Editor of PLOS Pathogens and on the Editorial Committee of the Annual Review of Virology. Dr. Ross has received several awards for teaching and research, including the ASM Wellcome Visiting Professorship, the ASM International Professorship and the Center for Retrovirus Research Distinguished Research Career Award (Ohio State University). Dr. Ross was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology in 2002 and an AAAS Fellow in 2009.
