The goal of this concept is to encourage research to define the mechanisms and roles of T-cells in HIV/central nervous system (CNS) reservoir seeding, persistence and neuropathogenesis. This research will be critical for developing therapeutic strategies for targeting CNS reservoirs and ongoing neuroinflammation that drive CNS comorbidities.

This workshop will be a 3-day interactive event with targeted and coordinated presentations, panel discussions, and demonstrations with the following goals: 1. Foster the development of data standards for the integration and annotation of single-cell genomics data. 2. Systemize and automate the process of data to information to knowledge and develop pipelines where feasible. 3. Shed new insights on brain cell functional studies by using cell atlasing data and cell type-specific targeting tools. 4. Develop strategies with brain disease research communities to maximally leverage BICCN / BICAN data. 5. Develop a community roadmap for the analysis and annotation of single cell data.
