Dr. Crowell has published extensively on clinical outcomes among persons living with or at risk for HIV, with a focus on U.S. military service members, sexual and gender minority populations, elite controllers, and individuals diagnosed during acute HIV infection. His current research also includes clinical trials of preventive vaccine candidates for HIV and other infectious diseases as well as novel interventions to achieve durable suppression of HIV without daily antiretroviral therapy.
