Dr. Larry Corey — a pioneering HIV researcher and former president and director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center — is hoping that CAR T cell immunotherapy could be the key to cures for HIV patients. And his work just got a $2.6 million boost.

The grant comes from California-based biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences. It will allow Corey and his team to investigate whether the CAR T cell therapies being developed at Fred Hutch could overcome challenges to treating and curing HIV, Corey said in a news release.
