Research
Richman's early research was on influenza virus, herpesviruses and hemorrhagic fever viruses, before focusing on HIV in the 1980s. His wide-ranging research in the HIV field has encompassed resistance, viral pathogenicity and host immune responses. He was one of the group of researchers who first demonstrated HIV drug resistance in 1989, and in 1997, his laboratory was also among the first to demonstrate HIV latency.
As of 2007, his research focuses on the natural history and molecular pathogenesis of acute HIV infection, particularly the immune responses to the virus, and viral evolution to evade the immune system.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?” [Was will das Weib?]”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
