Wolfgang Preiser

About: I am medical virologist with a PhD and have been Head of the Division of Medical Virology at Stellenbosch University / National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) Tygerberg in South Africa since 2005. Apart from heading a very busy diagnostic laboratory with a comprehensive repertoire of tests offered, my research interests focus on improving the management of viral diseases through developing new and improving existing laboratory tests and evaluating their optimal clinical use. My research outputs cover three areas: improving the laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of HIV patients whilst trying to define emerging issues such as antiretroviral drug resistance; diagnosis and monitoring of opportunistic infections (esp. cytomegalovirus and hepatitis B virus) in HIV-infected and other immunocompromised individuals; and finally, diagnostic and epidemiological aspects of emerging viral diseases.
