Abstract:
HIV-1 evolved to conceal its envelope glycoproteins (Env) from recognition by 
antibodies elicited in most infected individuals.  This lack of recognition 
translates into a lack of neutralization.  Therefore, these antibodies are 
known as non-neutralizing antibodies (nnAbs).  However, antibodies have several 
functions beyond neutralization, with Fc-effector functions being scrutinized 
in the last few years.  Unfortunately, nnAbs also fail to eliminate infected 
cells due to their incapacity to recognize Env.  We developed a new strategy to 
“open up” Env at the surface of infected cells thus enabling recognition by 
nnAbs.  This approach renders infected cells susceptible to antibody-dependent 
cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and therefore it could represent a new tool to 
achieve a functional cure.



Bio:
Dr. Finzi is Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair on Retroviral Entry 
at Université de Montréal.  Dr Finzi is a leader in HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein 
conformational changes, accessory proteins and Fc-mediated effector functions.  
His work has important implications for the development of new therapeutic 
strategies to fight HIV-1.  The excellence of Dr Finzi’s research program has 
been recognized by several distinctions and awards.  Since November 2020 he is 
a Member of The College of the Royal Society of Canada.
