Jacques Leibowitch (born August 1, 1942) is a medical doctor and clinical researcher known for his contributions to the knowledge and treatment of HIV and AIDS, starting with his initial designation of a human retrovirus as the cause of AIDS, and his ground-breaking use of triple combination therapy for the effective control of HIV in the patient. A practicing physician in the infectiology department of the Raymond-Poincaré hospital of Garches (directed by Prof. Christian Perronne, AP-HP), University lecturer Emeritus, he currently leads the treatment program ICCARRE that proposes a dramatic reduction of weekly anti-HIV drug intake, down to 2-3 anti-viral pills a day taken 2 to 3 or 4 days a week, as opposed to the presently recommended seven days a week, as still universally prescribed. These reduced medical dosages are adequate, necessary and sufficient according to the results of his exploratory clinical research carried out since 2003. He is the author of the books "Un virus étrange venu d'ailleurs" (''A strange virus of unknown origin''),〔(''Pour en finir avec le sida'', Jacques Leibowitch, 2011, sur le site de l'édition Plon. Consulté le 1/10/2013 )〕 and "Pour en finir avec le sida" (''Putting an end to AIDS'').〔("Un virus étrange venu d'ailleurs", Grasset 1984 )〕 ==Biography== Jacques Leibowitch did his medical studies in Paris (1960-1968), and did his physician training at the AP-HP hospitals (1969-1979) where he majored in clinical immunology, notably at the Necker hospital under Professor Jean Hamburger. He acquired his initial experience in research in 1962 at the Bellevue Hospital of New York, later returning to the United States for a Post-doctoral research program at Harvard Medical School (Pr John David, Robert Brigham Hospital, Boston, 1970-1972), where he studied cellular immunology.〔(Entretien avec Jacques Leibowitch réalisé par J.-F. Picard en mai 2001 sur le site histrecmed )〕 On his return to Paris, he finished his internship and went on to research Human Complement Biology at the Royal Hammersmith Hospital, London as post-graduate medical registrar (Pr Keith Peters, 1973–74), before undertaking his senior residency in nephrology at Necker, entering the Raymond Poincaré hospital at Garches as immunology assistant lecturer (1980). Jacques Leibowitch has published many (articles in international scientific journals ) that can be consulted on Pubmed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacques Leibowitch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
