He then joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where he worked until his sudden death in 2013. He was Chief of the Molecular Virology Section of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and a renowned virologist. His work focused on gene regulation of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) pathogenesis and oncogenesis, and he contributed more than 300 publications to the field. He was the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the academic journal Retrovirology and served as an editor for several other scientific journals, including Cancer Research. Notably, he was a co-editor for the first edition of this text.
