About
Peter Reiss is a leading infectious disease epidemiologist whose research centers on the clinical and evolutionary dynamics of HIV, with a particular focus on viral virulence and the long-term consequences of antiretroviral therapy. A principal investigator in the landmark BEEHIVE (Bridging the Evolution and Epidemiology of HIV in Europe) project, Reiss has been instrumental in leveraging high-throughput deep sequencing to analyze nearly-complete HIV-1 genomes from over 3,000 European patients. His work, exemplified by the highly cited 2016 study *“From clinical sample to complete genome: Comparing methods for the extraction of HIV-1 RNA for high-throughput deep sequencing”* (25 citations), has pioneered robust methods for extracting viral RNA from clinical samples, enabling unprecedented insights into how viral genetics drive pathogenesis and transmission. Beyond genomics, his contributions to understanding HIV-associated comorbidities and treatment optimization have shaped European clinical guidelines. With a career spanning decades of impactful research, Reiss continues to bridge molecular virology and population health, advancing our ability to predict and mitigate HIV’s clinical trajectory.
