Dr. Eric Freed received his Ph.D. in 1990 in the laboratories of Drs. Rex
Risser and Howard Temin at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and did postdoctoral
work with Dr. Temin at UW-Madison in 1991. His work in Madison focused on
the function of the murine leukemia virus and HIV envelope glycoproteins in membrane
fusion and virus entry. He joined the Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology
at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (LMM/NIAID) in 1992,
where he worked with Dr. Malcolm Martin on a variety of topics relating to virus
assembly and entry/post-entry events in the HIV replication cycle. In 1997,
he was appointed as a Tenure-Track Investigator in LMM/NIAID, and he was promoted
to a tenured Senior Investigator position in 2002. Dr. Freed joined the
HIV Drug Resistance Program in 2003. Since 2004, he has been a member of the University of Maryland Virology Program and currently serves as an adjunct Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Freed was an organizer of the 2004 Cold Spring Harbor
Retroviruses conference, 2006 ASCB Cell Biology of Retroviruses conference, and 2012 Keystone Conference "Frontiers in HIV
Pathogenesis, Therapy and Eradication." In 2009, he was appointed as the first Editor-in-Chief of Viruses; he
also currently serves on the Editorial Boards of Journal of Virology, Virology,
Open Virology Journal, Retrovirology, Advances in Virology, Frontiers in Virology, and Journal of Molecular Biology.
Dr. Freed was selected as an NCI Mentor of Merit in 2010 for excellence in mentoring and guiding the careers of trainees in cancer research, and he was appointed to the NCI Senior Biomedical Research Service in 2011. He is currently serving as a member of the NIH AIDS Discovery and Development of Therapeutics study section and an organizer for the 2014 Keystone Conference "Viral Entry, Assembly, Exit and Spread."
