Dr. Alex Kleinpeter, a faculty member in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Iowa, has been recognized as the first author of a chapter in the newly released 10th edition of Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases, one of the most authoritative references in the field.

Dr. Kleinpeter authored Chapter 120: Human Immunodeficiency Viruses, which provides a comprehensive overview of HIV, including its virology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and current treatment strategies. This contribution reflects the University of Iowa’s continued leadership in infectious disease research and education. 

The full chapter is accessible to University of Iowa students, faculty, and staff through the University Libraries via ClinicalKey. Congratulations to Dr. Kleinpeter on this significant academic achievement!
