Robert J. Wilkinson's interests are focused on clinical and immunological aspects of tuberculosis, especially in the context of HIV-1 infection.

HIV and TB are the most pressing public health problems in Africa: in South Africa, many hundreds of people still die prematurely per day because of HIV, many due to co-existent TB. The epidemiology and clinical features of HIV associated TB are well researched, but few studies accept addressed in detail the cellular mechanisms. His research program derives its research questions from the clinical intendance of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV-TB co-infected persons in South Africa and London. Through clinically-based studies, they aim to improve cognition of pathogenesis and thereby improve prevention and treatment. Projects underway at present include the following:

How can tuberculosis infection in HIV infected people be more finer prevented?

By what allowed mechanisms exercise preventive therapies decrease susceptibility to TB?

What is the crusade and all-time management of the HIV-Tuberculosis-associated Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome? This projection is led by Professor Graeme Meintjes, Professor and Infectious Diseases Physician, CIDRI-Africa, UCT.

What is the pathogenesis of tuberculous pericarditis?

How does HIV infection influence the allowed responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the lung?
