	Dr. Tulio de Oliveira - My research interests concentrates on HIV evolution under selection pressure created in the transmission, acquisition and drug escape processes. A particular point of interest is on the study of the origins of HIV and the effect of network of transmissions in the spread of HIV in Africa and other continents. In addition, I am also very interested in the development of open-source bioinformatics software applications and databases. tdeoliveira@africacentre.ac.za, telephone: +27 (0)35 550 7531, facsimile: +27 (0)35 550 7565.
