<p>'Princeton scientists working in the laboratory have identified a genetic "switch" that could stop HIV in its tracks. </p>

<p>'The finding gives scientists greater understanding of the life cycle of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and they hope their work will one day lead to more effective treatments. </p>

<p>A great deal of exciting research is going on at Princeton in the departments of molecular biology and integrative genomics. Undergraduates are offered numerous opportunities to assist professors as research assistants on cutting edge projects such as these.</p>

<p>This is great news indeed. My academic adviser, who works in the Lewis-Siegler Institute labs as a researcher, told me about this the other day. I am certain that because of research like this at Princeton and other universities like BYU, in about 5-10 years AIDS will be treated effectively.</p>
