Karin Jutta Metzner - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Karin Jutta Metzner is affiliated with the Department of Infectious Diseases and Hospital Epidemiology at the University Hospital Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland. Her work primarily focuses on infectious diseases, with a significant emphasis on HIV-1 research.

Research Contributions

Karin Jutta Metzner has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases, particularly in the study of HIV-1. Her research includes evaluating maintenance strategies such as dolutegravir monotherapy, the interplay between HIV-1 replication capacity and disease markers, and approaches to quantifying the interaction between behavioral and transmission clusters. She has also explored the selection in the HIV-1 genome during transmission events, convergent evolution in acute HIV-1 infection, and the impact of human genetic variation on the sequence diversity of the Epstein-Barr virus. Additionally, she has developed novel assays for determining the replication capacities of primary HIV-1 isolates and computational pipelines for assessing viral genetic diversity.
