Georg Stary is dermatologist and PI working at the Vienna Medical University. His research projects are focusing on different aspects of host-pathogen interactions and the contribution of tissue-resident leukocytes to physiologic and pathologic immune responses. Georg’s research interest lies in the biology, longevity, turnover and function of tissue-resident leukocytes in peripheral tissue with the skin being an optimal and accessible organ to perform meaningful human experiments. Georg Stary is a member of the Immuno-Board for Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases organized by LBI-RUD and CeRUD Director Kaan Boztug, and the Stary laboratory is applying omics technologies in collaboration with research groups at CeMM and LBI-RUD.
In his presentation dr Stary will share the latest results published in an article in the December issue of Immunity called: “Delayed antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected individuals leads to irreversible depletion of skin and mucosa-resident memory T cells”. The underlying mechanism of chronic tissue-related immunodeficiency in HIV is unclear. Despite systemic reconstitution of CD4+ T cells, HIV+ patients who started antiretroviral therapy late after diagnosis show an irreversible depletion of tissue-resident memory T cells in the skin and mucosa. These findings have implications for patients at risk to develop skin and mucosal cancer, such as anal cancer.
