About
Lindsey James, PhD, is a researcher with the HIV Cure Center, an assistant professor at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, and a member of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, focused on medicinal chemistry and epigenetics to accelerate drug treatment.
Dr. James’ interest in chemistry was first sparked by her high school AP Chemistry teacher. She pursued a chemistry major at Colgate University and became drawn to research while getting her bachelor’s degree.
She has a specific interest in epigenetic regulators, toward the study of HIV latency, as strategies that promote viral reactivation by disrupting repressive epigenetic processes represent a promising step toward a cure for HIV.
