Working Towards an HIV Cure – 9/24
Tuesday, September 24, 2019 | 4-6 pm
610 Commonwealth Avenue, Kilichand Center for Integrated Life Sciences & Engineering, Colloquium Room
Join us to learn about BU research efforts towards understanding HIV infection and pathogenesis and to foster new interests and collaborations in our work towards an HIV cure.
More than three decades after the discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS, we’re still looking for a cure. Barriers include access to testing and care, adherence to treatment, lack of social networks, substance abuse, and a poor understanding of how the virus hides from a person’s immune response. Overcoming these barriers will require a multidisciplinary effort that includes basic, translational, clinical, and social scientists. Join us to learn about research from across BU that is contributing to this effort.
Hosted by Andrew Henderson, Professor, Medicine, MED; Assistant Dean, GMS; the Providence/Boston Center for AIDS Research, and the BU Office of Research.
