Mudit Tyagi

Mudit Tyagi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia. His research focuses on HIV molecular biology with emphasis on transcriptional regulation, epigenetic mechanisms, and substance abuse interactions.

Dr. Tyagi earned his PhD in Molecular Biology of HIV from the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in Trieste, Italy. His laboratory employs advanced methodologies including RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq, confocal microscopy, and transcriptomic analyses to investigate HIV pathogenesis.

His primary research directions include:

• Defining molecular mechanisms regulating HIV transcription/latency for therapeutic applications
• Characterizing how drugs of abuse enhance HIV replication and neurocognitive complications

Dr. Tyagi maintains active affiliations with the Center for Translational Medicine and directs a specialized research laboratory focused on HIV eradication strategies and neuroHIV complications.
