The CART has provided comprehensive, compassionate care for more than 3,700 HIV patients since the epidemic began. The Jane & Dayton Brown Virology Laboratory, which Dr. Kaplan founded in 1980, carries out a wide range of tests to diagnose complex viral illnesses. Dr. Kaplan was honored to have participated in the discovery of HIV through his work with Dr. Gallo in the early 1980's, and later in Dr. Gallo's discovery of HHV6, a new human herpes virus. Through collaborations with Dr. Gallo and the IHV, as well as through his own laboratory efforts, Dr. Kaplan brought world-class science to Long Island. His clinical insights have proven invaluable to scientists studying HIV, helping them to focus their scientific skills on bedside problems. The Laboratory also has described a unique form of HTLV-I associated CD-8 leukemia and HTLV-II - associated mycoses fungoides in HIV patients and has classified HTLV II into IIA and IIB subtypes.Dr. Kaplan is currently at the University of Michigan Health System, where he is conducting research on AIDS lymphoma, human endogenous retrovirus activation in HIV, and ELF-3 in breast cancer. He also teaches medical student and to attend on the infectious diseases service. Dr. Kaplan, a graduate of Cornell University Medical College, has published more than 144 peer-reviewed papers in Infectious Disease, as well as several books and book chapters on pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. He lectures widely on HIV, HTLV-I/II, Hepatitis-C, and other viral and bacterial illnesses. Dr. Kaplan has been repeatedly named one of the "Best Doctors" in New York, in the Northeast, and in America. |
