The Race to Discover the AIDS Virus
In the early 1980s, doctors sounded the alarm. A mysterious new disease—acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS—was spreading around the world. While many of the first AIDS patients were gay men, no one seemed to be immune from the deadly blood-borne disease. Researchers set to work to discover what was causing AIDS. They suspected a virus. Two teams of scientists—one in the United States and one in France—worked tirelessly to identify the virus and to develop a blood test to detect it. The news on April 23, 1984, that the U.S. team, led by Robert Gallo at the National Cancer Institute, had isolated the virus was a cause for celebration. But in Paris, France, Luc Montagnier and h...
Luc Montagnier
Trailblazers in Science and Technology is a 10-volume set that profiles the lives and achievements of scientists whose work has had a major impact on a particular field. The scientist's accomplishments are discussed, including the "trailblazing" principles and personal struggles that complemented his or her work. Employing an array of primary sources-diaries, memoirs, letters, and contemporary news accounts-as well as secondary sources, the set depicts the human drama of scientific work, the challenge of research, and the exhilaration and rewards of discovery. Luc Montagnier recounts the life and career of the Nobel Prize-winning French virologist whose contributions to the understanding of ...
Virus
The co-discoverer of HIV and one of the world's preeminent virologists relates the Pasteur Institute's leading role in investigating the AIDS virus and the virus's devastating course throughout the world. Photos.
Oxidative Stress in Cancer, AIDS, and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Based on a conference on Oxidative Stress and Redox Regulation, held at the Pasteur Institute, Paris, this work examines fundamental, chemical, biological and medical studies of free radicals on different targets and the consequences of their reactivity. It covers the chemistry and biochemistry of free radicals, free radicals as second messengers that group the activation of transcription factors and enzymes, the importance of the antioxidant system in cell metabolism regulation, and the role of free radicals and antioxidants in disease management. The editors of this work are three of the most respected pioneers in the field. Dr. Montagnier is credited as the discoverer of HIV.

Des virus et des hommes
Luc Montagnier est celui qui, avec son équipe de l'Institut Pasteur, a découvert en 1983 le virus responsable du sida. Il raconte son parcours de chercheur et retrace l'histoire de cette découverte. Il fait le point sur ce qu'on sait aujourd'hui du virus et de son origine, de la maladie et de ses mécanismes, de ses traitements. Il évoque ses recherches actuelles, ses espoirs, et livre ses réflexions sur l'effet qu'a eu l'épidémie de sida sur notre système de soins. Spécialiste des rétrovirus, directeur de recherche au CNRS et membre de l'Académie de médecine, Luc Montagnier dirige une unité de recherche à l'Institut Pasteur.
History of AIDS
By drawing on the latest discoveries in virology, microbiology, and immunology, Mirko Grmek depicts the AIDS epidemic not as an isolated incident but as part of the long, but far from peaceful, coexistence of humans and viruses.
